Specifically, fiber Bragg gratings are finding uses in instrumentation applications such as seismology, [29] pressure sensors for extremely harsh environments, and as downhole sensors in oil and gas wells for measurement of the effects of external pressure, temperature, seismic vibrations and inline flow measurement. As such they offer a ...
An addressed fiber Bragg structure can perform triple function in fiber-optic sensor systems: a sensor, a shaper of double-frequency probing radiation, and a multiplexor. The key feature of AFBS is that it enables the definition of its central wavelength without scanning its spectral response, as opposed to conventional fiber Bragg gratings ...
In contrast to the fiber Bragg gratings, LPFGs couple copropagating modes with close propagation constants; therefore, the period of such a grating can considerably exceed the wavelength of radiation propagating in the fiber. Because the period of an LPFG is much larger than the wavelength, LPFGs are relatively simple to manufacture.
Retting is a process employing the action of micro-organisms and moisture on plants to dissolve or rot away much of the cellular tissues and pectins surrounding bast-fibre bundles, facilitating the separation of the fibre from the stem. [1] It is used in the production of linen from flax stalks and coir from coconut husks.

In 1919, George Schlichten received a U.S. patent on his improvements of the decorticator for treating fiber bearing plants. [3] Schlichten failed to find investors for production of his decorticator and died in 1923, a broken man. His business was revived a decade after death in 1933. [4] [5]

The artificial solution described by Dennis Hoagland in 1933, [1] known as Hoagland solution (0), has been modified several times, mainly to add ferric chelates to keep iron effectively in solution, [6] and to optimize the composition and concentration of other trace elements, some of which are not generally credited with a function in plant nutrition.
