Multipoint optical fluence measurements can potentially be used to detect coagulation-induced changes in optical propagation during interstitial laser thermal therapy. Estimating the dimensions of coagulation using on-line optical monitoring, which is applicable to treatments where the tip of the source fibre is not precharred, may be limited by the accuracy of the placement of optical sensors ...

the recognition of the biologically and environmentally important ions is of great interest in the field of chemical sensors in recent years. the fluorescent sensors as a powerful optical analytical technique for the detection of low level of various analytes such as anions and metal cations have been progressively developed due to the simplicity, cost effective, and selectivity for monitoring ...

Highly textured undoped (pure) and Al doped ZnO nanocrystalline thin films prepared by ultrasonic atomization and pyrolysis method are reported in this paper. ZnCl2 water solution was converted into fine mist by ultrasonic atomizer (Gapusol 9001 RBI Meylan, France). The mist was pyrolyzed on the glass substrates in horizontal quartz reactor placed in furnace. The Structural and microstructural ...

In this paper, the noise equivalent power (NEP) of an optical sensor based ongraphene-superconductor junctions in the constant current mode of operation has beencalculated. Furthermore, the necessary investigations to optimize the device noise withrespect to various parameters such as the operating temperature, magnetic field, deviceresistance, voltage and current bias have been presented. By s...

Recent advancements in the design and development of small optical sensors have made it possible to investigate complex flows. These include flows with bubbles and polymers at high Reynolds numbers which are present in drag reduction experiments. We have developed optical sensors for use in scaled and full-scale experiments, both in laboratory and at sea conditions. These sensors have been test...

Electro- and magneto-optical phenomena play key roles in photonic technology enabling light modulators, optical data storage, sensors and numerous spectroscopic techniques. Optical effects, linear and quadratic in external electric and magnetic field are widely known and comprehensively studied. However, optical phenomena that depend on the simultaneous application of external electric and magn...
