The resonant fiber-optic sensor (RFOS) is well known for its high sensing resolution but usually suffers from high cost and system complexity. In this Letter, we propose an ultra-simple white-light-driven RFOS with a resonant Sagnac interferometer. By superimposing the output of multiple equivalent Sagnac interferometers, the strain signal is amplified during the resonance. A 3 × 3 coupler is employed for demodulation, by which the signal under test can be read out directly without any modulation. With 1 km delay fiber and ultra-simple configuration, a strain resolution of 28 /Hz at 5 kHz is demonstrated in the experiment, which is among the highest, to the best of our knowledge, resolution optical fiber strain sensors.

Accurate and noninvasive detection of cancer cells is critical for advancing early stage cancer diagnostics and monitoring tumor progression. While manual enumeration methods, such as hemocytometry, remain in use, they suffer from limited sensitivity and scalability. In this article, we report the first feasibility study demonstrating a graphene oxide (GO)-functionalized long-period fiber grating (LPG) sensor for the label-free detection of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell density via secreted cellular byproducts.

Fiber optic surface plasmon resonance sensor (SPR) play an important role in various fields where highly sensitive sensors are suitable. In this paper, we propose an SPR refractive index sensor composed of multi-mode fiber-coreless fiber-multimode fiber (MCM) structure modified by Au/TiO2 nanofiber material. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the TiO2 nanofiber/Au structure sensor is 3687.

The use of 3T MRI in patients with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads is limited by safety concerns due to radiofrequency (RF) heating. A promising strategy to overcome this problem involves RF shimming using low-specific absorption rate (SAR) calibration scans to estimate the RF-induced currents based on image artifacts near the leads. Although clinically available two-channel RF shimming can suppress RF heating in a single lead configuration, complete nulling is not possible when more than one lead is involved.

Lightning strikes pose a significant threat to the structural integrity and operational performance of wind turbine blades. Due to the high probability of lightning strikes but the difficulty in capturing their dynamic data, obtaining comprehensive data on blades subjected to lightning strikes is challenging. This study presents a rare multimodal dataset for wind turbine blade monitoring during lightning strikes (MDWTBM-LS).

A respiratory monitoring sensor based on a balloon-shaped optical fiber is proposed. The sensor consists of a single-mode fiber (SMF) coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) bent into a balloon shape to form a fiber optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The sensor's sensitivity to temperature enables monitoring of breathing status by recognizing the temperature changes that occur during human respiration.
