Magnetomyography (MMG) with superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) enabled the measurement of very weak magnetic fields (femto to pico Tesla) generated from human skeletal muscles during contraction. However, SQUIDs are bulky, costly, and require working in a temperature-controlled environment, limiting wide-spread clinical use. We introduce low-profile magnetoelectric (ME) sensor analog frontend circuitry that has sensitivity measure pico-Tesla MMG signals at room...
We demonstrated an ultrabroadband supercontinuum (SC) generation with high coherence property in all-normal-dispersion (ANDi) Te-based chalcogenide tapered fiber.

A geometrical optimization study of Ge-Sb-Se chalcogenide glass tapered fiber sensors for concentration sensing methanol is presented. The effects the parameters such as taper waist diameter and transition region lengths on evanescent wave penetration depth are discussed based ray-tracing theory. Numerical analysis results demonstrate that performance sensor can be enhanced by decreasing length down-taper combined with increasing up-taper. homemade tapering platform enables controlling...
