Traditional point sensors have limitations in monitoring complex components, while distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) technology offers a more comprehensive solution. By integrating DFOS with ...

In the journal Applied Optics, the researchers describe their new sensor, which uses an optical fiber and an optical phenomenon known as localized surface plasmon resonance. They used it to detect ...

"Our innovation was to shrink sensors by using fiber optic bundles to relay the image to a remotely located camera, akin to how early endoscopes used fiber optic bundles for imaging," Di said.

The primary research interest covers a broad range of Fiber optics sensing techniques and optical sensors, devices, systems and signal processing. For more information on our current and past projects ...

Modern internet and communication networks rely on light signals to transfer massive amounts of data. However, just like a ...

Modern communication networks rely on optical signals to transfer vast amounts of data. But just like a weak radio signal, ...

Applications such as self-driving vehicles, 6G mobile communications and quantum communications are pushing fiber optic ...

When comparing the original laser signal with the light that exits the fiber optic cable, researchers can determine the strength of the seismic wave by checking how much the beam was distorted. Data ...
