As an abundant, cheap and pollution-free renewable energy resource, solar energy offers a
great alternative to conventional fossil resources and is expected to play an increasingly …

There was no established literature or documentation regarding this due to the competition
for the market and confidentiality issues. This article reviews the current status of waterjet …

Dispersing trace amounts of nanoparticles into common base-fluids has a significant impact
on the optical as well as thermophysical properties of the base-fluid. This characteristic can …

Abstract Plasmonically-induced transparency (PIT)-like effect has developed into a powerful
approach for accurate monitoring of biomaterial. For this purpose, several invaluable …

This work presents simulation and experimental results of ultra-thin optical ring resonators,
having larger Evanescent Field (EF) penetration depths, and therefore larger sensitivities, as …

In this paper, a metal–insulator–metal plasmonic sensor with one rectangular and two
square nanorod array resonators that shows a Fano resonance is analyzed and suggested …

Optical fiber micro-tips are promising devices for sensing applications in small volume and
difficult to access locations, such as biological and biomedical settings. The tapered fiber …

A pioneering method is reported for creating thermoresponsive biofunctional hydrogel
microstructures using maskless multiphoton lithography. Departing from conventional …

Large-volume liquid scintillator detectors with ultra-low background levels have been widely
used to study neutrino physics and search for dark matter. Event vertex and event time are …

Fiber optic sensors are applied in industry, remote sensing, environmental monitoring and
healthcare. A special place is occupied by tilted fiber Bragg gratings, which can significantly …
