Sensor technologies are a rapidly growing topic in science and product design, embracing electronics, photonics, mechanics, chemistry, and biology developments.
The presence of optical fiber sensing, including sound, movement, optical, or magnetic signals, is widespread in everyday life. The demand for portable and lightweight sensors is relentless, filling various needs in consumer electronics, biomedical engineering, and military applications.
Optiwave’s applications can be used to design and simulate state-of-the-art optical sensors for a range of industries, from electronics to healthcare. For example, programs like OptiMode can simulate photonic crystal fiber sensors, which, in turn, can be used to create temperature sensors. Similarly, this application also supports the simulation of complex fiber Bragg grating sensors for strain sensing.
Below, you’ll find all the resources you need to learn more about optical fiber sensor applications with Optiwave. Our archive covers step-by-step tutorials, quick design basics for mirror sensors, and exciting ideas to help you get started with your testing.
What can optical sensing be used for?
Sensing can be used for practically most real-world applications. For instance, biochemical sensors can be used to monitor the interaction of light with chemical molecules, and they’re often used in healthcare. Programs like OptiBPM were built from the ground up to facilitate the simulation and design of highly efficient sensors, and they can be used to simulate the passage of light in highly complex situations.
