| Abstract | Nontechnical Description Photonic sensors, which use light to detect environmental changes, are promising tools for applications in extreme environments such as deep-earth drilling, deep-sea exploration, nuclear reactors and outer space. However, current technologies based on silica fibers or silicon photonics often degrade under high temperatures or in corrosive conditions, limiting their performance and reliability. This Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) project aims to develop a new class |
