A compact method for forming strong hermetic bonds and seals. Such bonds are made simply and with no intervening adhesives, by directly melting a thermoplastic polymer against or between two surfaces of thermoset materials.

Method of making adhesion between an optical waveguide structure and thermoplastic polymers

A compact, optically double-ended sensor probes with at least one 180&#xb0; 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.

Suspended and compact fiber optic sensors

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.

Wavelength dependent optical force sensing

A waveguide magneto-optic sensor provides a signal indicative of the value and/or direction of a detected magnetic field by a spectral shift of the characteristic resonant spectral feature of the sensor is disclosed. The sensor does not suffer from vibrations, fiber bending or other light intensity noise and provides an absolute self-referencing signal. The sensor elements can easily be coupled to optical fibers and read with scanning spectrometers or scanning lasers calibrated against NIST-traceable gas absorption standards.
