Article Abstract
The optimum femtosecond laser direct writing of Bragg gratings on silica optical waveguides has been investigated. The silica waveguide has a 6.5 × 6.5 µm cross-sectional profile with a 20-µm-thick silicon dioxide cladding layer. Compared with conventional grating inscribed on fiber platforms, the silica planar waveguide circuit can realize a stable performance as well as a high-efficiency coupling with the fiber. A thin waveguide cladding layer also facilitates laser focusing with an improved spherical aberration. Different from the circular fiber core matching with the Gaussian beam profile, a 1030-nm, 400-fs, and 190-nJ laser is optimized to focus on the top surface of the square silica waveguide, and the 3rd-order Bragg gratings are inscribed successfully. A 1.5-mm long uniform Bragg gratings structure with a reflectivity of 90% at a 1548.36-nm wavelength can be obtained. Cascaded Bragg gratings with different periods are also inscribed in the planar waveguide. Different reflection wavelengths can be realized, which shows great potential for wavelength multiplexing-related applications such as optical communications or sensing.

Real-time and accurate temperature monitoring has been widely recognized in both academia and industry to ensure battery operation safety. Traditional techniques are generally limited to incomplete information caused by discrete sampling points. Hence, the spiral-serpentine distributed optical fiber sensor (DOFS) layout is presented to realize in-situ full-range temperature measurement.

The unique optical interaction of species such as nanomaterials, proteins, viruses, antibodies, microRNA, and exosomes with the one-dimensional grating-based photonic crystals (PCs) has been leveraged in their detection using photonic crystal absorption microscopy (PRAM). While the principle and fundamental mechanism of such interfacial interactions are well delineated using wavelength and intensity modulations associated with the guided-mode resonance (GMR) of the PC, the effect of nano-assemblies in place of nanoparticles (NPs) has not been reported previously. In this work, the fundamental limitations observed with pristine NPs are overcome through the use of tunable AuNP assemblies synthesized via adiabatic cooling technology, where tunable nano-assemblies are obtained by subjecting the respective NPs to - 196 °C.

Bragg gratings are fundamental components in a wide range of sensing applications due to their high sensitivity and tunability. In this work, we present an augmented Bayesian approach for efficiently acquiring limited but highly informative training data for machine learning models in the design and simulation of Bragg grating sensors. Our method integrates a distance-based diversity criterion with Bayesian optimization to identify and prioritize the most informative design points.

The increasing depth of coal mine construction has led to complex geological conditions involving high ground stress and elevated groundwater levels, presenting new challenges for water-sealing technologies in rock microfissure grouting. This study investigates ultrafine cement grouting in microfissures through systematic analysis of slurry properties and grouting simulations. Through systematic analysis of ultrafine cement grout performance across water-cement (W/C) ratios, this study establishes optimal injectable mix proportions.

To prolong the service life of asphalt pavement and reduce its maintenance cost, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor encapsulated in carboxylated carbon nanotube (CNT-COOH)-modified gel material suitable for strain monitoring of asphalt pavement was developed. Through tensile and bending tests, the effects of carboxylated carbon nanotubes on the mechanical properties of gel materials under different dosages were evaluated and the optimal dosage of carbon nanotubes was determined. Infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscopy were used to compare and analyze the infrared spectra and microstructure of carbon nanotubes before and after carboxyl functionalization and modified gel materials.
