hello

can someone suggest a simple fiber optic pressure/temperature sensor that can be constructed
...with reasonable accuracy and less equipment...

i came across a few papers about the same...but not sure about the scale and precision required...

please help

thanks

s sekhar, Welcome to Physics Forums!

Accurate and sensitive pressure and temperature sensors can be formed with a simple fiber optic system. Here is some background information to study:

Here is an example of an application:

“Cost-effective assembly of a basic fiber-optic hydrophone for measurement of high-amplitude therapeutic ultrasound fields”:

Suggestion: Google and Wikipedia are your friends! Learn how to use them.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
