Experimental implementation of designed devices, by laser writing micromachining and heat processing techniques will be covered. Photonic platforms such as polymer optical fibers, silica or specialty hybrid fibers, and plasmonic structures, functionalized by nanostructured materials will be presented as examples of a broad range of customized solutions for Structural Health Monitoring, industrial predictive maintenance, defence systems and biomedical applications. %> Αποθετήριο Ήλιος / ΕΙΕ
