Publication Open Access 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 - ISCAn 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.Publication Open Access Fiber-optic lossy mode resonance sensors(Elsevier, 2014) Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Del Villar, Ignacio; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Goicoechea Fernández, Javier; Ruiz Zamarreño, Carlos; Elosúa Aguado, César; Hernáez Sáenz de Zaitigui, Miguel; Rivero Fuente, Pedro J.; Socorro Leránoz, Abián Bentor; Urrutia Azcona, Aitor; Sánchez Zábal, Pedro; Zubiate Orzanco, Pablo; López Torres, Diego; Acha Morrás, Nerea de; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaIn the last 4 years, experimental evidences about the potential use of optical sensors based on Lossy Mode Resonances (LMR) have been presented in the literature. These LMR sensors have some similarities with Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors, the gold standard in label-free, real-time biomolecular interaction analysis. In these new LMR sensors, if the non-metallic nanocladding of an optical waveguide fulfills the conditions explained in this work, coupling of light to the cladding modes happens at certain resonance wavelengths, which enables the use of LMR devices as refractometers and opens the door to diverse applications such as in biology and proteomics research. These highly sensitive refractometers have already shown sensitivities higher than 20,000 nm/RIU or 5x10-7 RIU and, given the youth of this field, it is expected to achieve even better values.
