    Polymer-functionalized fiber-optic optrode towards the monitoring of breathing parameters
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Álvarez-Jiménez, A.; Acha Morrás, Nerea de; Aginaga Etxamendi, Concepción Isabel; Urrutia Azcona, Aitor; Socorro Leránoz, Abián Bentor; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    An innovative application of lossy mode resonances (LMRs) is presented in this work, pursuing the detection of biomedical variables. In this case, the detection of pH and breathing signal events is shown by means of a reflective fiber-optic optrode consisting of a poly(allylamine chloride) / poly (acrylic acid) polymer matrix deposited on the tip of a 200-micron-core bare multimode optical fiber. The proposed sensor is capable of detecting pH values between 6.5 and 8.0 (saliva pH range) with quite stability and repeatability. Moreover, when monitoring the breathing signal, the proposed sensor presents quite good real time detection of the different events occurring during the inspiration-expiration cycle, different breathing rates and detecting apneas.

    The multimode interference (MMI) effect in a single mode-multimode-single mode (SMS) can be used fordevelopment of wavelength shift detection based sensors. In this work, the focus is centered on obtainingwavelength shifts with low cutoff single mode fibers, which allows exploring the wavelength range from600 to 1000 nm, where optical sources and detectors are less expensive than at longer wavelengths. Inaddition, the application of a reduction in the fiber diameter of the SMS structure by means of HF etching,combined with the deposition of a thin-film, enables to enhance the sensitivity of the devices at thesame time the objective mentioned before is achieved. In this sense, the effect of the deposition of a pHsensitive thin-film on SMS structures with different diameters allowed attaining a maximum sensitivityof 15 nm per pH unit in the range from pH 4 to pH 6, which improves by a factor of 3 the sensitivity ofSMS sensors without etching operating at longer wavelengths.
