Optical fibers have revolutionized several technological sectors in recent decades, above all
that of communication, and have also found many applications in the medical, lighting …

Optical fiber has seen significant development in the technical fields where it has been used
in the last years. In the first place, obviously, for the Internet and, more broadly, to improve …

Herein we design a fiber sensor able to simultaneously measure the temperature and the
pressure under harsh conditions, such as strong electromagnetic interference and high …

The use of the polarimetry techniques for display and study of biological tissues has gained
increasing interest in recent years. This interest is related mainly to the non-invasiveness …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for the detection of steel material
defects utilizing a fiber Bragg grating sensor. The considered defects are periodic grooves …

In this paper we present a novel twist measurement technique based on the influence of
changes in the input light polarization state on the tilted Bragg grating. In the proposed …

A novel, compact, and robust contact force sensor based on a micro-length single-mode
fiber (SMF) incorporated in a cleaved micro-air cavity (MAC) is proposed. The fabrication …

Heavy ice coating of high–voltage overhead transmission lines may lead to conductor
breakage and tower collapse causing the unexpected interrupt of power supply. The optical …

Temperature monitoring in overhead high voltage transmission lines (OHV TLs) on
continuous basis have become a subject of much interest and research in recent years …

This paper presents a novel diaphragm-type fiber Bragg grating (FBG) force transducer with
a high sensitivity through combining the axial property of the optical fiber and the transverse …
