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 ...

Fiber optic proximity sensors are used to detect the proximity of target objects using light. Light is supplied and returned via fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cables can fit in small spaces, are not ...
