Share



The 17th International Conference and Exhibition on Plastic Optical Fibers (POF 2008) will be held August 25 – 28, 2008, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. A tutorial and over a dozen papers on POF sensors will be presented over the four-day period, covering a wide range of measurement parameters, including pressure, strain, temperature, humidity, liquid level, moisture, elongation, and voltage.

POF sensors are attractive since they offer the potential of large-scale, low-cost sensors for a wide range of applications, including medical, automotive, military and aerospace, oil and gas, Homeland Security, electric power, interactive displays, embedded fabrics, and many more.


The “Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) Sensors‚” tutorial will be held of the evening of August 25 and taught by Professor Demetri Kalymnios of the London Metropolitan University, London, UK. Dr. Kalymnios is a world expert on POF sensors and has lectured and written extensively on the subject.


The tutorial should be of interest to Engineers, Technical Managers and other Technical staff with or without previous experience in fibre optic sensors.Following a basic review of the characteristics of fibre optic sensors in general, the advantages and disadvantages of converting into POF will be presented. The basic characteristics of POF will be reviewed and present details of available optoelectronic and other components suitable for use with POF sensors. Numerous examples of earlier and more recent POF sensor applications will be presented. Market analysis and information on fibre optic sensors in general, will be used to estimate the prospects of a POF sensor market.
