Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2023.230019 discusses exceptional-point-enhanced sensitivity – a new paradigm for high-sensitivity fiber sensors. The sensitivity of a ...

Distributed fiber-optic sensors are widely used to monitor temperature and strain in infrastructure, but their spatial resolution has long been limited. In a new study, researchers from Shibaura ...

Fight Fire with Light: Fiber optic networks power the overwhelming majority of global internet traffic at any given moment. They can also be used to develop extremely precise light-based sensors, ...

Pipeline contents are typically valuable, volatile, and harmful to the environment if allowed to escape. With them being susceptible to aging, accidental damage, or tampering, the chances of an escape ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a new light-based technology that can rapidly gather thousands of bacteria into a tiny ...

Optical fibers were proposed for long-distance communications about six decades ago. Soon, researchers discovered that optical fibers could also be ...

Not-for-profit power cooperative Great River Energy, which serves 1.7 million people across Minnesota and Wisconsin, has partnered with Prisma Photonics to roll out real-time monitoring technology ...

Pittsburgh startup Sensible Photonics is betting its fiber optic tech could speed up power outage recovery — like what happened after this year’s major storm that left thousands in the dark. Utility ...
