  • Compact fiber optic sensors
    Patent number: 9248615
    Abstract: A compact, optically double-ended sensor probes with at least one 180° bend provided in the optical fiber in close proximity to a fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor suspends the optical fiber within a casing in such a way that the expansion and contract of the probe casing will not materially influence the temperature reading of the fiber Bragg grating by adding time varying or temperature varying stress components.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 2, 2016
    Assignee: KYTON, LLC
    Inventors: Philip R. Swinehart, Mokhtar M. Maklad

  • Wavelength dependent optical force sensing
    Patent number: 8879067
    Abstract: Sensors operate by resolving changes in orientation of a wavelength dependent structure with respect to a reference direction determined by an incident light beam, resulting in very high sensitivity and dynamic range. Said sensors are wavelength encoded, can be multiplexed in a single light path such as an optical fiber, yet are decoupled mechanically from the fiber, resulting in high stability.
