Characterization and Synthesis of Fiber Sensors Using OptiSystemTM Software

Algonquin College和OptiWave Inc.渥太华的一家公司合作开展了一个合作应用研究项目，以验证该公司最新的软件系统。该项目将生成使用该公司软件设计的光纤传感器的理论预测和性能模拟。然后，传感器将在阿尔冈昆的光子实验室中制造和测量，并将数据与数值模拟进行比较。这项计划可让该公司核实其软件系统，并在可能情况下加以改善。该公司参与这项计划，可确保计划的成果能即时产生商业影响。这为学院创造了一个“双赢”，通过HQP的产生，并为学院的研究人员提供了一个机会，以更好地与行业的需求保持一致。

Algonquin College and OptiWave Inc. of Ottawa have partnered in a collaborative applied research project to validate the company's latest software system. The project will generate theoretical predictions and performance simulations of a fibre optic sensor designed with the company's software. The sensor will then be fabricated and measured in Algonquin's photonics lab, and the data will be compared with the numerical simulations. The project will enable the company to verify its software system and possibly to improve it. The company's involvement in the project will ensure that project outcomes will have immediate commercial impact. This creates a 'win-win' for the College, via generation of HQP and by providing an opportunity for College researchers to become better aligned with the needs of industry.
