Optical fiber sensors have been used for a variety of sensing applications such as displacement, temperature, and pressure. they have several distinct advantages such as small size, high accuracy, and freedom from radio frequency and electromagnetic interfaces as well as inherent safety. an… More

Optical fibers are being considered in the designs of many military systems because of the numerous advantages including emp and emi. high bandwwidth and/or long run systems requires graded index fibers. all commercially available fibers show high permanent and transient radiation induced optical… More

Fiber optics are now being used to transmit in the form of optical energy with conversion to heat at the target site. the primary applications in medical situations are those where access is limited and the size of the target area is small. high delivered power is required for optic fibers to be… More

This project addresses the need for magnetic field and current measurement devices for fusion plasma diagnostics, especially in the compact ignition tokamak (cit). fiber optic magnetic field sensor development is planned to take advantage of the high sensitivity, high temperature, radiation… More

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes to develop software for interactive teaching of reading, based on letter-to-phoneme rules developed for an entirely different technology, namely computer text-to-speech synthesis (TTS). Awareness of letter-phoneme correspondences is… More
