I worked with Fiber Bragg grating [1] technology in the 2000s, exploring its applications in diverse fields. This included biomedical applications, where a fibre optic cable inserted inside a catheter measured temperature and pressure at specific points within a person's body. And in deep oil drilling, where the same fibre optic cable could extend kilometers down a well.
