Pursuing innovative non-rare earth amplified fibered DFB lasers: Ultra-long fiber Bragg gratings non-linear induced temperature control

Recent years have seen significant leaps towards perfecting the fabrication of ultra-long fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) for application in non-linear optics, including fibered DFB lasers. Previous work from the laboratory was able to successfully identify and mitigate some of the intrinsic defects causing non-uniformity in multiple type of fibers leading to their compensation attaining high […]

Self-Sustainable Wireless Sensors and Base-Stations Powered by Leaky-Energy Recycling and Harvesting from High Voltage Power Lines

The increasing complexity of large power distribution networks (PDN) has suggested that real-time monitoring systems (CMS) become crucial for both daily operation and emerging research. Future smart grids are expected to be assisted by but also operate for a vast number of sensor and actuator nodes. Such sensor/actuator nodes will demand a more consistent and […]

CONCEPTION ET FABRICATION D’UN BANC D’ESSAI POUR UN RÉCOLTEUR D’ÉNERGIE PROVENANT DU ROTOR D’UN HÉLICOPTÈRE

La récolte d’énergie (“energy harvesting” ou “energy scavenging”) a connu une croissance importante au cours des dernières années. C’est le processus de récupération de l’énergie (voir Figure 1) des sources externes (solaire, thermique, éolienne, acoustique, mécanique/cinétique, etc.) et de conversion en électricité utile à petite échelle. Dans l’industrie aéronautique en particulier, la conversion d’énergie vibratoire […]

Development of a data processing and machine learning pipeline using non-invasive diffuse reflectance spectroscopy eye imaging for Alzheimer disease screening

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and is currently the most common cause of dementia, affecting approximately 50 million individuals worldwide. RetiSpec has developed a non-invasive, label-free retinal imager that can uniquely detect and quantify AD biomarkers – namely, signatures of A? aggregates. The combination of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning may be […]
