Optical resonance shifts are measured against a wide range of temperatures from cryogenic to room temperature for silica microspheres operating at whispering-gallery modes. The sensor head microsphere is coupled fiber taper and placed in an insulated cell where the air first cools down below 110 K then rises steadily slowly. transmission spectrum distributed feedback laser 1531 nm exciting microsphere–taper system monitored recorded every 1 increment. wavelength changes analyzed. Several...
Optical resonance shifts are measured against temperature changes for different silica beads ranging from 80 to 450 µm in diameter. A micro-bead is fabricated by hydrogen flame fusing the tip of a single mode fibre/taper, and coupled fibre taper submicrometre The coupling system whispering-gallery modes placed an insulated cell. air cell slowly heated up room about 10K higher, red wavelength during heating process recorded. Linear dependence shift versus rise observed all tested...
The spectral shift response of optical whispering-gallery modes due to the adsorption and desorption water molecules into a SiO2 nano-coating is investigated.

Abstract The basic physical mechanisms for shear layer growth have been shown in computations to change at very high compressibilities. A double diaphragm, shock tunnel driven hypersonic mixing facility is used reach compressibility levels not possible blowdown-type facilities. Mixing layers M c = 0.86 and 1.7 are examined streamwise, plan, end views using Schlieren acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence imaging schemes. Analysis of these images yields normalized rates, concentration...
