A fresh example of fiber optic sensors increasingly finding applications in stress measurement is exemplified by the launch of FBGS’s All Grating Fiber. The company says that this development enables ...

The engineering team at Shanghai Optics is skilled in spectrometer design for research, industrial, medical and defense applications. At its simplest, an optical spectrometer consists of an entrance ...

Yongqiang Wei at the A*STAR Data Storage Institute and co-workers have now fabricated a silicon chip that integrates not only a laser, but also an optical grating that provides optical gain and ...

The light is deflected using an invisible grating made of air shaped by acoustics. In optics systems, lasers are usually redirected using lenses and mirrors, but at high energies, such as those ...

Another benefit of holographic gratings is that they are easily formed on concave surfaces, allowing them to operate as both the focusing optic and the dispersive element simultaneously. The amount of ...

It’s not often we see candy optics, but we like it — and if you fail, you can always eat your mistakes and try again. If you’re wondering what you can do with a diffraction grating ...

A fiber Bragg grating is an optical element inscribed ... In The Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Letters, the researchers show that gratings etched into the bioresorbable glass fiber dissolve ...

The laser beam interacts with this grating and is deflected without travelling through a solid medium. (Courtesy: Science Communication Lab for DESY) Ultrasound waves in air have been used to ...
