Industrial Sensing & Measurement

The performance of new types of artificial skin closely resembles the human touch.

Vacuum monitoring with novel pressure sensors enhances long-term stability and calibration in uncooled, mid-IR detector assays.

Since 1969, retroreflectors on the Moon have been measuring the distance from Earth with increasing precision.

Exploiting the flexibility, compactness, and optical properties of photonic-resonance-based structures enables fabrication of miniature yet sensitive gyroscopes.

A photorefractive-crystal-based two-wave-mixing interferometer allows structural-health monitoring of civil, aerospace, and mechanical structures.
