Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, ...

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...

For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. For the first time, researchers ...

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, bending, ...

Modern medicine relies on optical fibers to cauterize unhealthy veins in a minimally invasive way. Now, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM) have ...
