    Advancing industry innovation with specialty optical fibers

    Andy Gillooly
    Specialty optical fibers are rapidly moving beyond niche applications.
    FIGURE 1. Three-dimensional shape sensing promises to facilitate procedures such as coronary angioplasty with highly accurate GPS-like guidance provided by feedback from the optical fiber, which exhibits strain when bent; this application is enabled by a highly complex optical fiber such as the spun seven-core SM-7C 1500(6.1/125).

    Fiber Sensing: Medical fiber-optic sensors offer haptics, 3D shape sensing, and pressure sensing

    Andy Gillooly
    Moving beyond conventional fiber-optic sensing, novel types and configurations of sensing fibers provide new capabilities for minimally invasive surgery.

    FIGURE 1. A near-infrared pulsed laser signal is sent down an optical fiber, creating Rayleigh, Brillouin, and Raman backscattering—all of which are used for different types of distributed sensing, as seen in this spectral schematic. Brillouin and Raman scattering occur via the Stokes and anti-Stokes processes.
