The paper presents the design, operation, and proof of principle realisation and validation of a relatively cheap fibre optic strain sensor based on two fibre Bragg grating (FBG) elements with different spectral responses. Its performance is compared... Read More about Optical strain sensor with dual fibre Bragg grating topology.

Non-spectroscopic sensing enabled by an electro-optical reservoir computer (2022)
Journal Article
Anufriev, G., Furniss, D., Farries, M., & Phang, S. (2022). Non-spectroscopic sensing enabled by an electro-optical reservoir computer. Optical Materials Express, 12(5), 1767-1783. https://doi.org/10.1364/OME.449036

A fully bio-inspired apparatus to perform non-spectroscopic sensing to discriminate and determine the constituent concentrations of a chemical mixture is proposed. Here, fully bio-inspired means that it is comprised of a biomimetic sensor and a neuro... Read More about Non-spectroscopic sensing enabled by an electro-optical reservoir computer.

Creating Composite Vortex Beams with a Single Geometric Metasurface (2022)
Journal Article
Ming, Y., Intaravanne, Y., Ahmed, H., Kenney, M., Lu, Y. Q., & Chen, X. (2022). Creating Composite Vortex Beams with a Single Geometric Metasurface. Advanced Materials, 34(18), Article 2109714. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202109714

Composite vortex beams (CVBs) have attracted considerable interest recently due to the unique optical properties and potential applications. However, these beams are mainly generated using spatial light modulators, which suffer from large volume, hig... Read More about Creating Composite Vortex Beams with a Single Geometric Metasurface.

Theoretical and practical aspects of the design and production of synthetic holograms for transmission electron microscopy (2022)
