Their flexibility, compactness and immunity to unwanted electromagnetic interference has made fibre-optic sensors based on conventional step-index fibres attractive in many contexts 1.Fibre Bragg ...

The particle diameter and refractive index can be retrieved by monitoring changes in fibre transmission. (Courtesy: Philip Russell, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light) Russell explains that ...

OverviewIn recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in plasma physics research. In the past, large magnetic fusion experiments have made considerable progress, with theory often being subordinate ...

Researchers from Shibaura Institute of Technology developed small-scale model experimentation combined with moving particle simulation-based computer-aided engineering analysis that reliably ...
