Optical fiber biosensors can be used to develop point-of-care tests (POCTs) for detecting viruses and bacteria in several matrices. In particular, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized SPR phenomena (LSPR) can be excited by exploiting low ...

Investigation of bandwidth in multimode graded-index plastic optical fibers.
A new method is proposed for investigating the bandwidth in multimode graded-index plastic optical fibers (GI POFs). By numerically solving the time-dependent power flow equation, bandwidth is reported for a varied launch conditions (radial offsets) of ...

Light-Generating CdSe/CdS Colloidal Quantum Dot-Doped Plastic Optical Fibers [PDF]
Colloidal quantum dots (cQDs) are now a mature nanomaterial with optical properties customizable through varying size and composition. However, their use in optical devices is limited as they are not widely available in convenient forms such as optical ...

A facile optical sensor: Plastic optical fiber voids as a liquid level presence sensor
Optical sensors use light to detect or monitor different phenomena. Plastic optical fibers (POFs) have larger core diameters and are more flexible and easier to handle than glass optical fibers, making them perfect for many sensing applications.

Optical router for optical fiber sensor networks based on a liquid crystal cell [PDF]
Optical fiber sensor networks are evolving rapidly. They are used because of the inert nature of optical fibers allowing no electromagnetic interference and safe applications in inflammable atmospheres; other relevant characteristics are their low ...

Review of optical fibers-introduction and applications in fiber lasers
The optical fibers which are considered as waveguides can be applied to light transmission applications. The core part of the optical fiber is surrounded by a glass or plastic layer called cladding which is characterized by the refractive index that is ...

Force Sensors Using the Skew-Ray-Probed Plastic Optical Fibers
Simple optical force sensors have many uses but suffer from relatively low sensitivity or low fabrication-tolerance. We have demonstrated that pure skew rays can enhance the sensitivity of a bend-loss-based force sensor over the mixture of rays created ...
