Microelectromechanical Systems (Mems) Sensors and Actuators
TechnologyMy research activity in the area of design and modeling of micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) combines both theoretical and applied aspects and falls in several directions. The overall scope of the research is in the development of new approaches to actuation and sensing and their implementation in micro devices. In the realm of micro […] Read More >
Gas sensor based on optical sensing of porous silicon
During the last decade there has been a growing demand of devices for monitoring the ambient regarding the existence of hazardous gases and materials. Routine methods for identifying hazardous materials and pollutants are cumbersome, expensive and time-consuming. The ambient atmosphere needs to be collected and sampled, and separation is sometimes needed between organic and inorganic […] Read More >
Improvements in BOTDA for fiber optic sensors
TechnologyThis method is based on the Brillouin effect in optical fibers. By using a simple single mode optical fiber, strain is measured in a distributed manner along the entire fiber length, simultaneously, in high repetition rate. By attaching/planting the optical fiber to/in a mechanical structure, its mechanical behavior can be dynamically measured. The Need While […] Read More >
Briloullin simultaneous interrogation
Methods and systems used to perform sweep-free stimulated Brillouin scattering-based fiber optical sensing are described. In one aspect, a method includes interrogating different parts of a Brillouin gain spectrum using multiple optical tones in an optical fiber. The interrogating includes sending at least two pump tones into the optical fiber from one end of the […] Read More >
Coupler for fiber optic quasi distributed sensing
TAU researchers have developed a first of its kind sensing platform termed Optical – Universal Sensor Bus (O-USB). It facilitates simple, flexible and cost-effective deployment of sensor arrays over very long distances (tens of kilometers per control box) for a wide variety of applications. It supports almost any type of sensor and allows mixing of […] Read More >
LWIR / FIR / THz Detectors and Sources For High Sensitivity Remote Sensing
The discoveries of novel materials and physical phenomena continuously drive technological advancements and their applications. So is the case for Terahertz (THz) optoelectronics, operating roughly in the frequency range of f≈0.5-35THz. In this spectral range radiation penetrates through opaque materials without the risk of ionization, making THz radiation highly attractive for technological applications, such as […] Read More >
