In this Letter, we present an analysis of the backscattering generated in a microdrilled tapered fiber within a short-linear-cavity fiber laser. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a fiber cavity laser based on a ...

In this work, an optical fiber vacuum sensor based on a single-mode multimode single-mode (SMS) structure coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is studied. The SMS structure generates an interferometric pattern based on ...

This paper presents a novel microwave sensor using optical activation for measuring in real-time the water contamination in crude oil or its derivatives. The sensor is constructed from an end-coupled microstrip resonator that ...

Today's automotive factories are essentially assembly plants that receive parts from a vast network of suppliers around the world. Transporting thousands of part types over very long distances is a major logistic problem ...

Nanocoated D-shaped optical fibers have been proven as effective sensors. Here, we show that the full width at half minimum (FWHM) of lossy mode resonance can be reduced by optimizing the nanocoating width, thickness and ...

Two phenomena for enhancing the sensitivity of longperiod fiber gratings are combined toward an increase of the sensitivity to strain of this type of devices: the dispersion turning point (DTP) and the cladding diameter ...

Matching the antenna’s impedance to the RF-front-end of a wireless communications system is challenging as the impedance varies with its surround environment. Autonomously matching the antenna to the RF-front-end is therefore ...

In this paper we provide a specific construction method of ordered directionally monotone functions. We show that the functions obtained with this construction method can be used to build edge detectors for grayscale images. ...

Ordered weighted average (OWA) operators are commonly used to aggregate information in multiple situations, such as decision making problems or image processing tasks. The great variety of weights that can be chosen to ...
