Optical Fibre Sensing Solutions: From Macro- to Nanoscale
Prof. Yuliya Semenova
Photonics Research Centre, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland
Venue: Har170
Date and Time: March 23rd, 12.30pm
Abstract:
Fibre-optic sensors can be reliable tools for a wide range of applications at a variety of physical scales: from the large scale and remote sensing in structural health monitoring of large civil structures to the micro- and nanosized probes reaching locations normally inaccessible by conventional measurement tools, such as inside the living human organism or even within a single living cell.
This presentation will introduce research activities of the Photonics Research Centre at Dublin Institute of Technology including
Fibre optic sensors and their application areas;
Sensing solutions from macro- to micro/nano:
Smart fibre structures;
Liquid crystal and microfluidic sensors;
Microresonators and microfibre devices.
Future directions and challenges
