A new class of optical thin-film materials enables the refractive index to be tuned to extremely low values. E Fred Schubert and colleagues believe that this capability could have important ...

Mode-division multiplexing based on few-mode optical fiber is a promising technology to increase the transmission capacity of ...

The Brix scale, derived from the refractive index of a solution at 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit), is widely known. Originally, it was established by determining the weight percentage of sucrose ...

Among the various sensing modalities available for bioprocess operations, index of refraction (IoR) is intriguing for its simplicity and capability for sample-less, real-time readout. A group led by ...

The water content of hydraulic brake fluid affects boiling point, viscosity and the corrosive nature of the fluid. Brake overheating can boil fluids containing a significant amounts of water, causing ...
