The devices can detect frequencies more than double that of traditional fiber-optic accelerometers, making them suitable for monitoring wheel-rail interactions. The durable sensors include no ...

Photonics researchers in Australia are developing a new kind of fiber-optic sensor that they believe will find use monitoring early-stage embryos during the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. The ...

Fortunately, the gap between reality and simulation can be greatly reduced with fiber-optic sensors. Pioneered in the 1990s for monitoring civil structures, fiber-optic sensing has developed, evolved ...

The D10 Expert fiber-optic sensor features dual output channels with independently configurable setpoints that let it solve challenging applications with as little as 1% contrast. The D10 Expert ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching ...

EPFL engineers have developed an advanced encoding and decoding system that allows fiber optic sensors to send data up to 100 times faster and over a wider area. "Unlike conventional sensors that ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

In testing the application, optical and material science researchers installed distributed feedback fiber laser acoustic emission sensors into a series of riveted aluminum lap joints and measured ...
