An optical sensor that measures hydraulic pressure in the landing gear of a commercial aeroplane has been developed by the UK-based company Druck. Based on low-coherence-light interferometry, the ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

The report "Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor Market by Fiber Type (Single-Mode, Multimode), Operating Principle (OTDR, OFDR), ...

Researchers developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that can measure small pressure changes. Adding a side hole that runs parallel to the fiber core enhanced the pressure ...

The FOP-F125 pressure sensor is the result of close collaboration with LEOSS, a Slovenian research group from the University of Maribor who has been working with FISO for the last three years. This ...

Project Stingray, which aims to commercialize fibre-optic seismic sensors for mapping oil and gas reservoirs under the sea-bed, begins testing this month. James Tyrrell reports. Extracting ...

If the sensing application involveshigh temperatures or a very tight, almost inaccessible location, fiberoptic sensors could provide the answer. These sensors provide small,lightweight units that can ...

ARTIFICIAL skin embedded with optical sensors could help robots develop a more human touch. Existing sensors, such as those based on simple pressure switches and motor resistance, are limited in their ...
