FOPE-ComSens
Chiral POF
Helically Twisted Polymer Optical Fibres for
High Capacity Short Range Communications and
Wearable Flexible Smart Sensors
Objectives
Fabrication of CFG in POFs
Modelling and improve the theoretical understanding of CFGs in POFs of different types, geometries and materials and
Implementation of a state of the art CFG fabrication system for POF.
POF-CFGs for short range communications
Development of innovative POF based CFG devices for low-cost passive all-optical processing using all-POF based technology.
POF-CFG for biomedical applications
Design and development of new wearable POF sensors based on CFGs, for the monitoring of human joints, either by stitching the fibre onto clothes or by embedding the fibres in 3D printed flexible skins.
