The spherical microbubble formed when a single-mode fibre is spliced to a hollow-core photonic crystal fibre produces a high-precision strain sensor. When a single-mode fibre (SMF) is joined to a ...

The FS62 – Athermal Strain Sensor is a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensor with an innovative proprietary design that ensures athermal operation of the strain gauge by cancelling the intrinsic ...

Last month was undoubtedly a milestone for the UK start-up Insensys. Just 18 months after it was founded the developer of fibre-optic strain and temperature sensors has begun to manufacture commercial ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210101 discusses a highly sensitive and fast response optical strain sensor. The authors of this article propose a highly ...

According to the researchers, there's usually a trade-off with such devices, in that their fragility increases along with their sensitivity. This highly-sensitive strain sensor, however, can ...

Prof. Ramaswamy Nagarajan from the department of plastics engineering at UMass Lowell has developed a new type of strain sensor suitable for wirelessly monitoring the mechanical deformation in tension ...

The miniature-format strain sensors DST20 complement the Baumer portfolio by adding a compact and cost- efficient system for measuring large forces above 10,000 N even in confined spaces. With their ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers presented a comprehensive study on the development and performance evaluation of silver-coated laser-induced graphene (LIG) strain ...

A fibre-optic acoustic sensor that can detect a person up to 10 m away could soon be deployed in many demanding security applications. Jacqueline Hewett talks to David Hill at QinetiQ to find out just ...

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, ...
