In this paper, we provide a brief overview of fiber optic biosensors for use in MedTech,
specifically to aid in the diagnoses and treatment of those with chronic medical conditions …

Here, the direct incorporation of photochromic WO3 nanoparticles is investigated in a matrix
of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by bulk radical polymerization for the fabrication of …

An evanescent wave optical fiber biosensor based on titania–silica-coated long period
grating (LPG) is presented. The chemical overlay, which increases the refractive index (RI) …

Detection of biomarkers for tracking disease progression is becoming increasingly important
in biomedicine. Using saliva as a diagnostic sample appears to be a safe, cost-effective, and …

Real time monitoring of bacterial attachment to medical devices provides opportunities to
detect early biofilm formation and instigate appropriate interventions before infection …

Abstract Compared to Silica Optical Fibers, Polymethyl Methacrylate Polymer Optical Fibers
(POFs) present a high attenuation and dispersion properties for long distances. However …

We have inscribed a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) in selected cores of a multicore optical
fiber. The presence of the TFBG permits to couple light from the incident-guided mode to the …

The distributed long-range sensing system, using the standard telecommunication single-
mode optical fiber for the distributed sensing of mechanical vibrations, is described. Various …

A high output power, stable wavelength spacing and switchable multi-wavelength erbium-
doped fiber laser has been demonstrated experimentally using a combination of non-linear …

We demonstrated modulation of the waveguide mode mismatch via liquid cladding of the
controllable refractive index for label-free quantitative detection of concentration of chemical …
