A Survey on Optical Fiber Sensors for Telemedicine Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper most of the important telemedicine applications with optical fiber sensor were introduced, and they included two techniques of using optical fiber sensors with monitoring and treating patients remotely through the operation. Optical sensors with MRI compatibility have been used in these two fields through catheter and biopsy techniques. This survey is the first one in which the optical fiber sensors in the field of biomedical engineering applications has been used.

Weight Measurements by Using Simple Optical-Fiber Sensors (RESEARCH NOTE)
The use of different optical-fiber sensors for weighing measurements is Abstract described. By using three different mechanical stressing mechanisms, the operation of the fiber-to-fiber transducer systems are tested and the results are presented. Parameters such as sensitivity, hysteresis, resolution, and dynamic range are measured. A comparison of the results has shown that the sensor system m...
متن کاملOptimization of Bistability in Nonlinear Chalcogenide Fiber Bragg Grating for All Optical Switch and Memory Applications
We solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. The characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear FBGs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval and on-off switching ratio are studied. The effects of FBG length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on FBG cha...
