Researchers have developed a flexible optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of pressure with high sensitivity and stability. The advance in tactile sensing ...

An optical sensor that measures hydraulic pressure in the landing gear of a commercial aeroplane has been developed by the UK-based company Druck. Based on low-coherence-light interferometry, the ...

Researchers developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that can measure small pressure changes. Adding a side hole that runs parallel to the fiber core enhanced the pressure ...

The FOP-F125 pressure sensor is the result of close collaboration with LEOSS, a Slovenian research group from the University of Maribor who has been working with FISO for the last three years. This ...

Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor utilizing inexpensive LEDs and dyes that resulted in a stretchable skin-like material able to detect deformations, including pressure, bending, ...

Project Stingray, which aims to commercialize fibre-optic seismic sensors for mapping oil and gas reservoirs under the sea-bed, begins testing this month. James Tyrrell reports. Extracting ...

ICON (Intent-based and Context-aware Optical Networks) comprises an interdisciplinary team of photonics specialists developing sensor technologies that analyse changes in light travelling through ...

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 ...
