We report a generic theoretical framework for accurate simulation of the temporal and spatial evolution of fused fiber-optic components, fabricated by the "heat and pull" technique. The methodology is based on the solution of quasi-3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations formulated for immiscible two-phase flow. The two-phase interface is resolved by employing an interface tracking approach combined with the immersed boundary method. The model facilitates accurate spatiotemporal prediction of the evolution of both the external shape of the optical component and the internal dopant concentration during fabrication. Validation of the model was obtained by extensive comparison to experimental results. The model was found to be a convenient theoretical tool that may reliably facilitate the design and fabrication process of a wide spectrum of optic components.

Two fibre optic probes were custom designed to perform Raman and near-infrared spectroscopic measurements. Our long-term objective is to develop a non-destructive tool able to collect data in hard-to-access locations for real-time analysis or diagnostic purposes. This study evaluated the quantitative performances of Probe A and Probe B using model pharmaceutical tablets.

Techniques for monitoring calcium carbonate and silica deposits (scale) in geothermal power plants and hot spring facilities using fiber optic sensors have already been reported. These sensors continuously measure changes in light transmittance with a detector and, when applied to field tests, require the installation of a power supply and sensor monitoring equipment. However, on some sites, a power supply may not be available, or a specialist skilled in handling scale sensors is required.

- A new flexible wearable sensor for monitoring human breath is developed using a Fabry-Perot structure, which involves fusing optical fiber with a capillary and coating it with agar film that reacts to humidity changes.
- The sensor measures relative humidity (RH) with a sensitivity of 0.95 nm/%RH in the range of 60%-85% and has varying temperature sensitivity, averaging 0.34 nm/°C between 30°C and 55°C.
- It responds quickly to breath with a response time of 0.88 s and can differentiate between normal and deep breathing, marking a significant advancement in stable and reliable breath monitoring technology.

For ultrasonic non-destructive testing, the development of miniaturized, embeddable, and distributed ultrasonic transducers has always been a hot research topic. In light of this, a novel fiber optic laser-ultrasonic transducer, employing the long-period fiber grating (LPFG), was introduced in this study to facilitate the implementation of embedded and distributed applications. LPFG couples the light transmitted in the optical fiber into the photoacoustic conversion material.

A blood glucose concentration and temperature sensor with a balloon-shaped single-mode fiber (SMF) based on a core-offset structure is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The balloon-shaped SMF is created by offset-fusing a straight-line SMF between two other SMFs, thereby forming a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The core-offset structure can effectively excite higher-order cladding modes.
