The advent of optical fibre-based biosensors combined with that of nanotechnologies has provided an oppor-tunity for developing in situ, portable, lightweight, versatile and high-performance optical sensing platforms. We ...

The control and manipulation of thermal fields is a key scientific andtechnological challenge, usually addressed with nanophotonic struc-tures with a carefully designed geometry. Here, we theoreticallyinvestigate a different ...

In this paper, a new sensor system for simultaneous and independent multipoint strain and temperature measurements is presented. The interrogation of the sensing heads has been carried out by monitoring their FFT phase ...

It has been recurrently observed that, for compound muscle action potentials (M wave) recorded over the innervation zone of the vastus lateralis, the descending portion of the first phase generally shows an 'inflection' ...

Since the origin of the Modern Movement, there has been a basic commitment to improving housing conditions and the well-being of occupants, especially given the prediction that 2/3 of humanity will reside in cities by 2050. ...

A full metallic Bull’s-Eye (BE) antenna operating at 60 GHz is numerically and experimentally analyzed. The antenna presents wide grooves, rather than narrow ones, which support higher order resonances that lead to a large ...

In this paper, an optical fiber interferometric humidity sensor is presented. The device consists of 1 cmlong segment of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) spliced to standard single mode fibers (SMFs), forming an interferometer: ...

In this work, the behavior of a Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) operating within the quasi-static resonance regime and embedded in a composite stratified Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) with two different ...

Backscattering reduction is usually achieved by using either absorbers or diffractions gratings at the expense of a narrow bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a different strategy based on a metallic compound reflection ...
