Remote-point photonic sensors are fabricated and evaluated. They are based on
nanocomposite thin films comprising NiCl_2 nanocrystals embedded in sol-gel silica matrix …

We present an optimization study of surface relief grating based sensors for use in optical
remote point sensing. Our study includes the effects of geometrical characteristics of the …

Sol–gel tetramethoxyorthosilicate (TMOS) derived composite thin films comprising
embedded NiCl 2 nanoparticles, were illuminated and processed by 193 and 157 nm …

Laser micromachining and patterning by laser ablation is used for the fabrication of micro-
fluidic and micro-optic components. Irradiation configurations comprise direct spot writing …

The remote point photonic sensing is established as an efficient environmental detection
approach which offers a unique potential and advantageous operational characteristics. The …

This chapter deals with the laser-based fabrication of surface structures by ablative material
removal. Only microstructures with typical dimensions ranging from 100 to 1 mm are treated …
