TL;DR: This paper presents a light and compact optical fiber Bragg Grating sensor for DC and AC magnetic field measurements that is coated by a thick layer of a magnetostrictive composite consisting of particles of Terfenol-D dispersed in a polymeric matrix.

TL;DR: In this article, the swelling behavior of PVA-PAA hydrogel films in saline water and in buffer solutions of different pH values was investigated, and it was observed that the swelling factor decreases when the ionic strength of the solvent solution increases.

TL;DR: The design of an air hole microstructured photonic crystal fiber for pressure sensing applications was presented to produce an optical fiber with a birefringence-pressure coefficient of 43.89 x 10 (-6)MPa(-1) or a fiber Bragg grating pressure responsivity of 44.15 pm/MPa, which is a 17 times improvement over previous photonics crystal fiber designs.

TL;DR: A magnetic field sensor based on the integration of a high birefringence photonic crystal fiber and a composite material made of Terfenol particles and an epoxy resin is proposed.

TL;DR: From the analysis of experimental results, it is concluded that, in principle, an operating limit of 92 MPa in pressure could be achieved with 0.0003% of full scale resolution.
