A recent paper titled, "Brillouin Scattering Properties of Lanthano-Aluminosilicate Optical Fiber," by Lecturer Peter D. Dragic has been featured as a spotlight article by the Optical Society of America, or OSA, for a new kind of fiber optic cable he's developed along with collaborators at Clemson University and the Institute of Photonic Technology in Jena, Germany. It has 10 times the performance of the current industry standard and dramatically improved capabilities for sensing differences in stress and temperature.
