Optical Fiber Attenuation for 1550nm FBG Sensor

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the attenuation of optical fiber used in fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors operating at a wavelength of 1550nm. Participants are asked to provide insights based on their research or experimental context. The specific application mentioned is monitoring heart and breathing rates using FBG sensors. Attenuation values for optical fibers at this wavelength are crucial for optimizing sensor performance. Overall, understanding these parameters is essential for effective implementation in biomedical applications.

Welcome to the PF.

What is the context of your question? Is this something from an experiment in your lab? What have you found so far in your research of this question?
 
My seminar topic is fiber Bragg grating sensor used for monitoring heart and breathing rate so related to that it is said that the system will be operating at a Bragg wavelength of 1550nm.

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...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

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...
