What is a printed piezoelectric sensor?
A printed piezoelectric sensor can detect impacts and vibration and convert them into electrical signals. The printed piezoelectric sensors consist of a 3-layer structure, which consists of a bottom electrode, a piezoelectric layer, and a top electrode. The bottom and top electrodes are made by printing silver paste onto a flexible substrate. Between the electrodes, […]

What Are Fiber Bragg Gratings?
Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) are optical interference filters that are inscribed into optical fibers with UV light. FBG sensors consist of an optical fiber containing a series of microscopic gratings. The gratings reflect a specific wavelength of light while allowing other wavelengths to pass through. By analyzing changes in the pattern of the reflected light, […]
