Optical fiber-based technologies have been proposed to address these challenges. This work presents the fabrication and characterization of an innovative angled optical fiber probe based on a double-sided angled tip (DSAT) structure. A custom griding setup was used for the reproducible fabrication of a smooth DSAT probe. The designed probe enables precise spatial control of light propagation in brain tissue in which DSAT at angled tip 55° achieving a maximum lateral illumination position of ± 420 μm away from the optical axis and a peak irradiance of 478.5 mW/mm<sup>2</sup>, using a 5 mW of 473 nm laser light. Also, the designed DAST probe was simulated based on ray tracing method and obtained the practical tip angle to evaluate the propagation of light rays emitted from the DSAT at various input optical angles ranging from 0° to 12.5° to predict their irradiance and positions in the modelled tissue. The results indicate the probe generates two elliptical rings each containing two spots with higher optical concentration. Consequently, this device provides four optical spots with irradiance peaks that enable simultaneous illumination of four different locations in the brain tissue.

One of the significant aspects of designing and managing WDM optical networks involves routing and wavelength assignment (RWA), especially as the demand for high-capacity, low-latency communication continues to grow in recent times. Bicube networks possess many attractive properties, one of the salient features being low diameter as compared to a hypercube.

To address this issue, this paper proposed a simple singlemode-multimode-singlemode (SMS) optical fiber sensor to collect vibration signals and construct a damage recognition model based on natural frequency in order to identify the size of damages in Kevlar woven fabrics. To achieve a highly linear and accurate sensor, a length determination criterion for multimode optical fiber segments based on quasi-image, notch, and transmission spectrum loss was proposed. An optical sensor was fabricated based on this criterion. The feasibility and sensitivity of the sensor for vibration signal measurement were verified by constructing a vibration signal measurement device. An experimental study was conducted to detect damage in Kevlar tapes, where the natural frequency changes measured by the SMS sensor were integrated with an optimized multi-variable gray model for damage size detection.
