Highly sensitive optical fibre Bragg grating contact pressure sensor embedded in a polymer layer: modelling and experimental validation (2024)
Journal Article
Abeywardena, C., Zhang, Q., Korposh, S., Morgan, S., Bull, S., & Correia, R. (2024). Highly sensitive optical fibre Bragg grating contact pressure sensor embedded in a polymer layer: modelling and experimental validation. Results in Optics, 14, Article 100604. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rio.2024.100604

This paper discusses mathematical modelling and experimental validation of a highly sensitive optical fibre Bragg grating (FBG) contact pressure sensor developed for healthcare applications. Bare FBGs are not very sensitive to pressure (~ 3x10-3 nm/M...

Factors influencing brightness and beam quality of conventional and distributed Bragg reflector tapered laser diodes in absence of self-heating (2014)
Journal Article
Kaunga-Nyirenda, S. N., Bull, S., Lim, J. J., Hasler, K.-H., Fricke, J., & Larkins, E. C. (2014). Factors influencing brightness and beam quality of conventional and distributed Bragg reflector tapered laser diodes in absence of self-heating. IET Optoelectronics, 8(2), https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-opt.2013.0082

In this study, the authors examine some of the factors affecting the brightness and the beam quality of high-power tapered lasers. The large volume resonators required to achieve a high-power, high-brightness operation make the beam quality sensitive...
