Design and Fabrication of Stretchable Photonic Fibers

Nicola Bartolomei

Optical fibers have reshaped the technological landscape, from optical networks and high-speed data communication to in situ imaging and non-invasive surgery methods. The revolution allowed by these fibers has been made possible by its fabrication method, ...

Soft functional fibers for mechanical sensing and actuation

Andreas Leber

The measurement and generation of mechanical deformations is a key functionality in health monitoring, human-machine interaction, and soft robotics. However, current methods typically rely on small and hard transducers, which result in poor performance, cu ...

Distributed Temperature Sensing Based on φ-OTDR Using Back-reflection-enhanced Fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Li Zhang, Suneetha Sebastian

Distributed temperature sensing with 10 dB back-reflection-enhanced fiber is performed based on φ-OTDR. While the temperature sensitivity of such fibers is similar to that of standard single-mode fibers, a 3-times higher temperature resolution is observed. ...

Single-shot observation of breathers from noise-induced modulation instability using heterodyne temporal imaging

Alexey Tikan

We report phase and amplitude measurements of large coherent structures originating from the noise-induced modulation instability in optical fibers. By using a specifically designed time-lens system (SEAHORSE) in which aberrations are compensated, the comp ...

Distributed optical fiber sensing based on frequency-scanned phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry

Li Zhang

Unlike traditional sensing schemes which rely on discrete point sensors that perform measurements at predetermined positions, distributed optical fiber sensing is a general technique that enables to continuously gather information (typically temperature an ...

Brillouin scattering in gas-filled hollow-core fibres

Flavien Gyger

Edward E. Hagenlocker and William G. Rado demonstrated Brillouin interaction in gas for the first time in 1965, right after the very first demonstrations of stimulated Brillouin scattering in solid materials. In their experiment, they used a megawatt pulse ...

Precision Positioning of Microrobots for Multi-Object Spectrographs

Luzius Gregor Kronig

How does one study the evolution of the Milky Way, or the expansion of the Universe, or explore the mysteries of Dark energy? To investigate these complex topics, astronomers require data, and a great deal of it, in the form of the spectra of stars, galaxi ...

Transport of flexible fibers in confined microchannels

François Gallaire, Mathias Simon Daniel Bechert, Jean Cappello

When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional coupling between fiber deformation and transport and is expected to lead to m ...

Super-elastic multi-material optical fibers for health-care applications

Fabien Sorin, Wei Yan, Alexis Gérald Page, Yunpeng Qu, Andreas Leber, Nicola Bartolomei

Stretchable optical and electronic fibers constitute increasingly important building blocks for a myriad of applications, particularly in robotics, soft prosthesis, surgical tools and implants, and smart medical textiles. The integration of multi-material ...
