Optical micro-wire flow-velocity sensor
This paper presents a short response time, all-silica, gas-flow-velocity sensor. The active section of the sensor consists of a 16 µm diameter, highly optically absorbing micro-wire, which is heated remotely by a 980 nm light source. The heated microwire forms Read More …
Fiber-optic boiling point sensor for characterization of liquids
In this paper, an optical fiber sensor is proposed for measurement of the boiling point and boiling range of liquids. Since boiling point and/or boiling range of liquids correlate directly to chemical composition of liquids, the proposed sensor provides opportunity 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.
