FIBER OPTIC SENSORS LABORATORY

Director: Harbans S. Dhadwal

Location: Room 136, Light Engineering

This laboratory provides a state-of-the-art experimental facility for performing research in the areas of integrated fiber optics, fiber optic sensors and coherent optical signal processing. Some of the current research projects include development of integrated fiber optics for diffraction free laser beam delivery in various applications ranging from physiological to manufacturing systems. Additionally, we are developing compact and rugged fiber optic sensors, which will provide on-line information on the size distribution of crystals being grown in a micro-gravity environment. Time of flight blade tip clearance probes for rotating turbomachinery have been developed. Work is currently underway to develop fluorescence based sensors for DNA sequencing and for detection of microbial species in a marine environment.
