 Roberson Oliveiro wins Best Student Presentation at APOS

The second Asia-Pacific Optical Senors (APOS) conference was held in Guanzho, China. APOS is the regional conference on optical sensing, held in alternate years with OFS. Roberson Oliveiro from iPL won the Best Student Presentation Award for his work on a novel viscometer based on acoustic modulation of a long period grating. 

Reflecting the Australian success at APOS, and the strengthening ties in the region, the next APOS will be held outside of China in Sydney, Australia.  

 New book on optical fibre sensing is out:

The seminal work in optical fibre sensing and interferometry led by Dr. Andrew Michie and colleagues, and the source of inspiration for many students and colleagues, is now updated and available in book form. You can find it on amazon.com.

 iPL welcomes new visting scholars:

Eric Lindner from the Institute for Photonics (IPHT) Jena Germany arrives as part of an ongoing collaboration in sensing for a two month visit. Not even the bellows of Iceland stopped the intrepid Eric from his first trip to the fabled land downunder. Erichas returned home successfully elucidating further his work on regenerated gratings.

Philip Orr has returned home after a successful 3 month project on compound  gratings for magnetic sensors. Here more about his impressions. We certainly enjoyed his visit and look forward to hosting more outstanding students from Scotland and the UK.
