Top Scoring Student Paper Award at OFS 2023 Conference

We are delighted to announce that at the 28th Optical Fiber Sensors Conference (OFS 2023), which took place in Hamamatsu, Japan, from November 20 to Nov. 24, 2023, our esteemed researchers Jae Hyeong Youn, Kwang Yong Song, Sonia Martin-Lopez, Miguel Gonzalez-Herraez, María R. Fernández-Ruiz the "Top Scoring Student Paper Award" for his contribution: “2 cm Spatial Resolution Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis with ​​<100 KHz Detection Bandwidth Using Time Expansion​”.

This groundbreaking work is the result of a collaborative effort with Chung-Ang University in South Korea. We congratulate our researchers on this well-deserved recognition, showcasing their dedication to advancing optical fiber sensing technology.
