The fibre–fed echelle spectrograph of Observatoire de Haute–Provence, ELODIE, is
presented. This instrument has been in operation since the end of 1993 on the 1.93 m …

We present a comprehensive study of the strain and temperature-sensing characteristics of
single-mode–multimode–single-mode (SMS) structures based on the modal interference of …

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the potential of a dynamic,
multicompartmental in vitro system simulating the human stomach and small intestine (TIM …

SOPHIE is a new fiber-fed echelle spectrograph in operation since October 2006 at the 1.93-
m telescope of Observatoire de Haute-Provence. Benefiting from experience acquired on …

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma are inflammatory conditions of the airways
that often occur concomitantly. This observational, cross‐sectional, national study was …

The sensitivities of three single-mode optical fiber types were characterized under γ (∼ 1
MeV)-rays and pulsed X (∼ 1 MeV)-ray radiation environments at room temperature. The …

Prototype samples of preforms and associated fibers have been designed and fabricated
through MCVD process to investigate the role of fluorine (F) and germanium (Ge) doping …

We characterized the responses of three erbium-doped fibers with slightly different
concentrations of rare-earth ions (240-290 ppm) and Al 2 O 3 (7-10 wt.%) during proton and …

More and more research are being done on food bolus formation during mastication.
However, the process of bolus formation in the mouth is difficult to observe. A mastication …

We characterize by different spectroscopic techniques the radiation effects on ytterbium-(Yb)
and ytterbium/erbium (Yb/Er)-doped optical fibers. Their vulnerability to the environment of …
