Model for quantifying photoelastic fringe degradation by imperfect retroreflective backings.
In any automated algorithm for interpreting photoelastic fringe patterns it is necessary to understand and quantify sources of error in the measurement system. We have been considering how the various components of the coating affect the photoelastic measurement, because this source of error […]

Control of the characteristics of a long-period grating by cladding etching.
We have analyzed the effects of the fiber cladding radius on the characteristics of long-period fiber gratings. By etching the cladding of a common single-mode fiber, we verified the characteristics experimentally. When by etching we reduce the cladding radius of a common […]
