Researchers explore physics phenomenon to develop more sensitive and accurate optical sensors

The development of new solutions for sensors, photonic devices and highly sensitive monitoring systems is one of the outcomes of a study carried out by INESC TEC, which explored the implementation of Fano-like resonance in fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs). The research was recently selected as an Editor’s Pick by the Journal of the European Optical Society (JEOS) - Rapid Publications, recognising the scientific relevance of the study and the contribution to advancing photonics research.
