Optical Fibre Sensors
David Booth is recognised as one of Australia's foremost experts in the fibre optic sensor field and has an excellent international reputation. He and
Alex Mazzolini have had a long-standing collaboration in fibre optics. Since joining CIAO (now part of CAOUS) in 2001, Paul Stoddart has initiated a new
area of research in chemical sensing, taking advantage of novel techniques in nanotechnology and innovative sensing methods. He also led the
Distributed Temperature Sensor Project, which was supported by the CRC for Intelligent Manufacturing Systems and Technologies.
We are interested in investigating research opportunities in the following main areas:
Past work has involved the development of a fibre optic respiratory plethysmograph
(FORP) for the characterisation of high frequency ventilation in neo-nates and the detection of sleep
apnoea events in adults. This work is continuing in collaboration with the Royal Children's Hospital
in Melbourne.
