Photonic thermometers—which measure temperature using light—have been around in optical fiber form for decades. These devices, called fiber Bragg gratings, are embedded in commercially available ...

As the demand for bandwidth and high-speed transport grows, so does the use of fiber-optic based transport. One of the enabling technologies associated with optical transport are Fiber Bragg gratings ...

Fiber Bragg gratings are used to turn an optical fiber into a sensing element by reflecting a specific wavelength back in the direction from which it came. New dissolvable fiber Bragg gratings can be ...

A new publication in Opto-Electronic Advances overviews advances in femtosecond laser direct writing of fiber Bragg gratings in multicore fibers. In recent years, multicore optical fibers have ...

Whether for applications in medical technology, telecommunications or aerospace, demand for high-power lasers is increasing in many industrial sectors. Users are focusing on how cost-effective and ...
