New sensing method: Japanese scientists demonstrated a fiber-optic strain sensor that reads interference patterns in the electrical spectrum instead of using optical analyzers. Why it matters: The ...

Belt conveyors in application scenarios such as coal mines usually operate at a constant belt speed under full load. When the material on the conveyor belt is missing or less, if the full load speed ...

Between the two probes you can find the PLZT optical modulator developed by the research team. The modulator is 2.5 mm in length. The waveform demonstrates the results from the two tests conducted on ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not ...
