Research being undertaken at Adelaide to provide in-situ sensing of chemicals using optical fibres has attracted a great deal of interest from the wine industry.
The technology, being developed at the University of Adelaide, will allow them to monitor and fix problems as they arise, without interfering with wine that should have been left in the [...]

The world is more nonlinear than we think

October 16, 2009

A team of scientists from the Institute for Photonics and Advance Sensing (IPAS) led by Dr. Shahraam Afshar have recently shown that optical fibres are more optically nonlinear than it was thought before. Through a fundamental study of optical nonlinear processes in optical fibres, Shahraam Afshar and his team have shown that the standard theories [...]
