An Optical Fiber-Based Gamma Thermometer with Simple Design and Potential for Adjustable Axial Segmentation
TS-050215 — This invention proposes that an Optical Fiber-Based Gamma-Ray Calorimeter (OFBGC) sensor array can be designed, which does not require the distinct metallic thermal masses that are a part of the Optical Fiber-Based Gamma Thermometer (OFBGT).
As the world continues to grow and industrialize, the need for safe and efficient power is paramount. Currently, in nuclear fission reactors, there are Local Power Range Monitors (LPRM). They are ion chambers that contain fissile material. The electric current between their anode and cathode is mo…

Sapphire Optical Fiber with Internal Cladding
TS-029242 — A method for enhancing the transmission capabilities of sapphire optical fiber for use in extreme environments.
Optical fibers are lightweight, small in diameter, and immune to electromagnetic interference. Signal attenuation over great distances is minimal and there is a high potential for large bandwidth data transfer. These qualities make optical fiber-based sensors an ideal candidate for measurements wh…
