PT Unknown AU Kopp, VI Churikov, VM Genack, AZ TI Chiral-fiber gratings sense the environment SE Laser Focus World PY 2008 BP 76 EP 79 VL 44 IS 6 DE chiral fiber gratings; chiral gratings; from chiralphotonics AB The article focuses on the use of chiral fiber gratings in sensing. It discusses the production of chiral optical fibers which are created through twisting fibers. It cites experiments concerning the function of chiral-fiber grating produced by twisting optical fibers. The process and results of the experiments are also discussed in the article. ER
