Scientists have developed a new approach to significantly enhance the spatial resolution of distributed temperature sensing using plastic optical fibers (POFs ... Their research is published in ...

A new optical fiber link between CERN and Paris will provide the Laboratory with an accurate frequency reference, enhancing ...

Cables also include fibers of Kevlar and/or steel wires for strength and an outer sheath of plastic or Teflon for protection. For glass fibers, there are two "optical windows" where the fiber is ...

CERN's new optical fiber link to Paris enhances antimatter research precision, paving the way for new discoveries about the ...

This study presents a breakthrough in distributed temperature sensing with plastic optical fibers, achieving high spatial ...

Access Communications of Minneapolis has been hired to construct a fiber-optic ring around Scott County for $3.09 million. The 90-mile underground optic fiber will support next year’s switch ...

The RBOB-HAUV for amphibious drones and hybrid airborne and underwater applications is the latest addition to the range of airborne (UAV), land-based (UGV) and underwater (UUV) spools already offered ...

But the key to this build is in the 16 pieces of side-glow plastic fiber optic tubing. Side-glow is designed to let light escape along the length of the tube as opposed to end-glow, which is made ...

This figure illustrates the result of distributed temperature sensing using a perfluorinated graded-index plastic optical fiber (POF). The top diagram shows the structure of the sensing POF ...
