We reported a simple, robust, and highly sensitive temperature sensor using intrinsic Mach-Zehnder interferometer formed by means of bending a tapered microfiber, embedded in polydimethylsiloxane. The outer temperature perturbations modulate the refractive index of the polymer through thermo-optic and thermal expansion effects of the polymer. This leads to a phase difference between interfering guided...
A compact refractive index (RI) sensing probe with controllable sensitivities based on a θ-shaped microfiber resonator and Vernier effect is reported. By cascading the θ-shaped microfiber resonator with a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer, Vernier effect is generated to enhance the RI sensitivity. Both theoretical analyses and experimental results demonstrate that the RI sensitivity can be tuned by...
We demonstrate three microfluidic chip based microfiber/nanofiber sensors for ultra-sensitive absorption, fluorescence, and femtoliter-scale sensing, respectively. The sensors shown here may open up new opportunities for ultra-sensitive biosensing and single molecule analysis.
We propose and demonstrate a distributed fiber sensor based on cascaded microfiber Fabry-Perot interferometers (MFPI) for simultaneous refractive index (SRI) and temperature measurement. By employing MFPI which is fabricated by taper-drawing the center of a uniform fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on standard fiber into a section of microfiber, dual parameters including SRI and temperature can be detected...
We proposed and demonstrated a stable, label-free bacteriophage-based sensor of Escherichia coli using microfiber probe. T4 Bacteriophage was covalently immobilized on microfiber surface and E.coli concentration was investigated using the high accurate spectral interference mechanism. By immersing microfiber sensor into different concentration E.coli solution, the relationship between resonant wavelength...
