We numerically analyzed the refractive index sensing performance of the two-dimensional array of plasmonic V-shaped grooves. The structural parameters are optimized to show a sharp and large reflectance dip with desired sensing region (n=1.33). Acquiring the sensitivity of the environmental refractive index as 400 nm/RIU in the visible region, FWHM of the dip is ∼5 nm. It shows that the proposed structure...
In this paper, we present a tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBG) based surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) labelfree sensors with boronic acid derivative (ABA-PBA) as receptor molecule to detect glycoprotein with high sensitivity and selectivity. Tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBG) as a near infrared wavelengths detecting element can be able to excite a number of cladding modes whose properties can be detected...
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 the noncontact measurement of elasticity by using an optical fiber heterodyne interferometer and laser ultrasonics. The surface acoustic wave (SAW), that is generated by the laser pulse irradiation on the sample surface and propagating along the surface, is optically monitored by the heterodyne interferometer without taking any contact with the sample. By taking several measurements with...
Label-free biosensing using optical long-period gratings (LPGs) induced in optical fiber and coated with biological compound enables for detection and monitoring the kinetics of reactions taking places on the sensor's surface. The labelfree detection effect for the LPG biosensor working near the dispersion turning point (DTP) of higher order cladding modes can be observed as resonance wavelength shift...
One of the major challenges when using fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBGs) to detect Lamb wave or acoustic emission signals in structures is the low sensitivity of these sensors to surface waves propagating in the structure. The authors have previously demonstrated that remote bonding of the optical fiber away from the FBG can increase the measured signal amplitude. In this paper we investigate the...
There is a critical need of a fast, specific and reliable assay for biological species. To address this need, long period fiber gratings (LPFG) among other fiber optic sensors can be used because of their high sensitivity to changes in surrounding medium. In this work we fabricated and used two over-etched LPFGs. One of them was covered with T4 Phage and the other was covered with MS2 phage that both...
In this work, two different speckle based techniques are employed to quantify the movement of a vibrating surface. Directly projecting a coherent laser to a rough surface and collecting its associated subjective speckle using a high-speed camera, different frequencies are detected successfully. For the same purpose, a speckle pattern created by launching a coherent laser within a multimode fiber is...
A novel optical fiber refractometer based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is presented. The sensor was prepared by splicing a short segment of no-core fiber (NCF) between two multimode fibers. A gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) film was self-assembled on the sidewall of the NCF. When LSPR peak wavelength is used to investigate the refractive index (RI), sensitivity of 121.88 nm/RIU (R2 = 0...
We show that the surface properties of Au thin films on a glass prism, typical of the Krestchsmann setup for SPR generation, can be modified or tuned with optical exposure. The wetting properties of the film were investigated by measuring contact angles of water drops at room temperature T=23 °C. These contact angle change with optical irradiation from below the film. This change corresponds to a...
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...
A Graphene Oxide (GO) modified surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on the silver-coated side-polished fiber was demostrated. Stable GO aqueous dispersion was prepared through sonication, confirmed by UV-vis absorption spectrum and Tyndall effect. GO nanosheets were decorated on the Octadecanethiol (ODT)-silver sensor surface, where ODT act as a link between the silver and GO nano-films. The...
