Graphene oxide-coated Long Period Grating-based fibre optic sensor for relative humidity and external refractive index [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
IEEE Graphene oxide is a very attractive material for refractive index and humidity sensing due to its unique two-dimensional structure, which results in faster response times and improved sensitivity over alternative materials.

Refractive Index Sensing by Using Mechanically Induced Long-Period Grating

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2012
In this paper, a refractive index sensor using a mechanically induced long-period grating is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The sensing element is based on a composite optical waveguide, which is made of a single-mode fiber, a Teflon-cannula ...

Integrated collinear refractive index sensor with Ge PIN photodiodes

open access: yes, 2018
Refractive index sensing is a highly sensitive and label-free detection method for molecular binding events. Commercial implementations of biosensing concepts based on plasmon resonances typically require significant external instrumentation such as ...

Nanofluidic Refractive-Index Sensors Formed by Nanocavity Resonators in Metals without Plasmons

open access: yesSensors, 2011
Nanocavity resonators in metals acting as nanofluidic refractive-index sensors were analyzed theoretically. With the illumination of transverse electric polarized light, the proposed refractive index sensor structure acts as a pure electromagnetic ...

High-sensitivity plasmonic refractive index sensing using graphene

open access: yes, 2017
We theoretically demonstrate a high-sensitivity, graphene-plasmon based refractive index sensor working in the mid-infrared at room temperature. The bulk figure of merit of our sensor reaches values above $10$, but the key aspect of our proposed ...

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

A Novel High Sensitivity Refractive Index Sensor Based on Multi-Core Micro/Nano Fiber

open access: yesPhotonic Sensors, 2019
A refractive index sensor based on a multi-core micro/nano fiber is proposed for low refractive index solutions. At first, the mode field distribution of the tapered multi-core fiber is analyzed with the finite element model (FEM).
