Optically controlled fiber-optic micro-gripper for sub-millimeter objects

A miniature, fully optically controlled, dielectric, opto-thermally actuated tweezer/micro-gripper that is suitable for the manipulation of small objects is presented. The tweezer/micro-gripper is formed at the tip of an optical fiber and utilizes a mid-power laser diode for its actuation. Read More …

A miniature fabry perot sensor for twist/rotation, strain and temperature measurements based on a four-core fiber

In this article, a novel miniature Fabry-Perot twist/rotation sensor using a four core fiber and quadruple interferometer setup is presented and demonstrated. Detailed sensor modeling, analytical evaluation and test measurement assessment were conducted in this contribution. The sensor structure comprises Read More …

Multiparameter miniature fiber-optic sensor : design and signal interrogation

Miniature, all-silica, fiber-optic sensors capable of independent measurement of at least two different parameters arepresented. Sensors were produced by a micromachining process based on the selective etching of specially designed phosphorous-doped optical fibers and an assembly-procedure that included fiber cleaving, Read More …

All-fiber, thermo-optic liquid level sensor

This paper proposes an all-optical-fiber sensor for continuous measurements of liquid levels. The proposed sensor utilizes an optically absorbing vanadium doped optical fiber, which is configured as a long-gauge, optically-heated, fiber-optic, Fabry-Perot interferometer that is immersed into the measured liquid. Read More …

Miniature fiber-optic Fabry-Perot refractive index sensor for gas sensing with a resolution of 5×10−9 RIU

This paper presents a micro-machined, high-resolution refractive index sensor suitable for monitoring of small changes in the composition of gases. Experimentally demonstrated measurement resolution, induced by gas composition variation, proved to be in the range of 5×10-9 of a Refractive Read More …
