Fabrication and Characterization of Polymer Optical Fibers Doped with Perylene-Derivatives for Fluorescent Lighting Applications
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Four different dye-doped polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been fabricated following a two-step fabrication process of preform extrusion and fiber drawing, using poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as host material and dye ...
Characterization of Chromatic Dispersion and Refractive Index of Polymer Optical Fibers
(MDPI, 2017-12-20)
The chromatic dispersion and the refractive index of poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been characterized in this work by using a tunable femtosecond laser and a Streak Camera. The characterization ...
Optical Characterization of Doped Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymer-Optical-Fibers
(MDPI, 2017-03)
The emission properties of a graded-index thermoplastic polymer optical fiber and a step-index thermosetting one, both doped with rhodamine 6G, have been studied. The work includes a detailed analysis of the amplified ...
Study of the Influence of Various Stress-Based Mechanisms on Polarization of an SM mPOF for the Development of Useful Devices
(IEEE, 2017-07-15)
In contrast to conventional polymer optical fibres (POFs), single-mode microstructured POFs (SM mPOF) exhibit polarization properties that make them potentially interesting for their use in the design and development of ...
U-Shaped and Surface Functionalized Polymer Optical Fiber Probe for Glucose Detection
(MDPI, 2017-01)
In this work we show an optical fiber evanescent wave absorption probe for glucose detection in different physiological media. High selectivity is achieved by functionalizing the surface of an only-core poly(methyl ...
Implementation Issues of Adaptive Energy Detection in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
(MDPI AG, 2017-04-23)
Abstract
Spectrum sensing (SS) enables the coexistence of non-coordinated heterogeneous wireless systems operating in the same band. Due to its computational simplicity, energy detection (ED) technique has been widespread ...
Feasibility of the capnogram to monitor ventilation rate during cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
Aim:The rates of chest compressions (CCs) and ventilations are both important metrics to monitor
the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Capnography permits monitoring
ventilation, but the CCs provided during ...
