Fiber optic sensors are widely used in environmental sensing because of their high
precision, compact size, remote operation, chemical inertness and multiplexing capabilities …

The tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) is a new kind of fiber-optic sensor that possesses all the
advantages of well-established Bragg grating technology in addition to being able to excite …

The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of mode-division and spatial-
division optical fiber sensors, mainly encompassing interferometers and advanced fiber …

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical fiber sensors can be used as a cost-effective and
relatively simple-to-implement alternative to well established bulky prism configurations for …

The coating of complex three-dimensional structures with ultrathin metal films is of great
interest for current technical applications, particularly in microelectronics, as well as for basic …

The present review deals with the chemistry of complexes of gold (I) and gold (III) with
organic ligands. Compounds classified according to the type of coordinating ligands and …

The geometry-and size-dependent effective medium properties of ultrathin gold films
deposited on the bare cladding of single mode optical fibers by chemical vapor deposition …

The tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG), as a versatile and robust tool for many sensing
applications with a particular focus on vapor deposition processes, is reviewed. Recent work …

In single crystals of 2-naphthylisonitrile–gold (I)-halide (halide= Cl, Br, I) complexes, Au⋯ Au
distances are found to be significantly shorter than twice the van der Waals radius, indicating …

This thesis first outlines the current state-of-the-art of gold CVD and ALD precursors based
on their precursor figures of merit (σ). Then, this thesis demonstrates the ability to control the …
