TL;DR: A compact, low loss, and highly sensitive optical fiber curvature sensor is presented, which allows for using either visibility or spectral shift for sensor interrogation when the device is bent.

TL;DR: Low-loss all-fiber photonic lantern (PL) mode multiplexers capable of selectively exciting the first six fiber modes of a multimode fiber and the use of graded index fibers in a PL eases the length requirements of the adiabatic tapered transition and could enable scaling to large numbers are demonstrated.

TL;DR: It is found that 5-tube nested HC-AR fiber has a wider anti-resonant band, lower loss, and larger higher-order mode extinction ratio than designs with 6 or more anti- Resonant tubes.

TL;DR: A table-top, broadband, coherent mid-infrared light source that offers a compact and bright alternative to a synchrotron in the 4−18 µm spectral range has been developed by a German-US research team.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fiber-optic liquid level sensor based on multimode interference (MMI) effects is proposed and demonstrated, which can discriminate the refractive index (RI) of the liquid during the level measurement.
