AC/DC millivoltage sensor by means of ITO-coated optical fibers: towards monitoring of biosignals
This contribution shows the monitoring of AC and DC millivoltage signals by means of lossy mode resonances generated by Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) on optical fibers. Sensors were obtained by sputtering ITO thin-films onto 25 ... -
