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 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 ...

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 ...

Chemists have developed a molecular system capable of very precise optical pressure measurements. The gemstone ruby served as the source of inspiration. Chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz ...

When will the first fully digitized, autonomous and environmentally friendly ship be ready to sail? The answer is uncertain but the Danish Maritime Authority’s ShippingLab project aims to have most of ...

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 ...

ICON (Intent-based and Context-aware Optical Networks) comprises an interdisciplinary team of photonics specialists developing sensor technologies that analyse changes in light travelling through ...
