By subtracting bulk-sensitive band dispersion of the buried Fe(001) obtained by HARPES in the non-TR condition from near-interface-sensitive Fe(001) band dispersion obtained by TR-HARPES, the band-folding of Fe and the O 2p -Fe 3d hybridization at the heterointerface were clearly unveiled.

However, it is feasible to inscribe FBGs in multimode fibers (MMFs), which resist bending and can perform discriminative sensing of multiple physical parameters. When using a simple experimental setup to measure the temperature dependence of the dip in the transmission spectrum, significant fluctuations in its spectral power can be observed. Therefore, this study shows that the temperature-dependent spectral power fluctuations in multimode FBGs can be mitigated using a reflectometric configuration with suppressed modal interference, leading to higher-reliability temperature sensing.","PeriodicalId":503885,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics Express","volume":"109 S2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140709229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
