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 ... -
Advances in fiber optic DNA-based sensors: a review
DNA is becoming increasingly important in the domain of optical fiber sensors, either as a tool for biosensing, or as a target to detect. In this review the main contributions of the last years are presented both in the ... -
All fiber interferometer for ice detection
This work presents an etched single-mode - multimode - single-mode structure that detects the solid-to-liquid change of state of the water due to an increased refractive index sensitivity within the 1.308 - 1.321 RIU range -
All-fiber ellipsometer for nanoscale dielectric coatings
Multiple mode resonance shifts in tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) are used to simultaneously measure the thickness and the refractive index of TiO2 thin films formed by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) on optical fibers. ... -
Analysis of one-dimensional photonic band gap structures with a liquid crystal defect towards development of fiber-optic tunable wavelength filters
A theoretical analysis of a fiber optical photonic band gap based tunable wavelength filter is presented. The design presented here is based on the quarter wave reflector with a liquid crystal defect layer in the middle ... -
Arc-induced long period fiber gratings in the dispersion turning points
We demonstrated the possibility to inscribe longperiod fiber gratings (LPFGs) in a B/Ge codoped fiber by using grating periods shorter than 150 μm. We also have arc-induced in the SMF 28 fiber an LPFG in the dispersion ... -
Asymmetrically and symmetrically coated tapered optical fiber for sensing applications
The deposition of a non-metallic thin-film in a symmetrically coated tapered optical fiber leads to the generation of resonances due to guidance of a mode in the thin-film. At certain conditions, the resonances overlap ... -
Bloch surface wave resonances generated with dielectric stack of high refractive index contrast deposited on a D-shaped optical fiber for sensing applications
A 5-layer stack composed of TiO2 and Al2O3, two materials with a high refractive index contrast, was deposited on a D-shaped fiber to generate Bloch surface wave resonances with an improved figure of merit. -
Bloch waves at the surface of a single-layer coating D-shaped photonic crystal fiber
Bloch surface wave (BSW) platforms are particularly interesting for light confinement and surface sensitivity, as an alternative to the metal-based surface plasmon polaritons (SPP). However, most of the reported BSW platforms ... -

Optical fiber sensors are of great interest due to their intrinsic advantages over electronic sensors. In this work, the sensing characteristics of two different and novel optical fiber devices are compared, after ... -
Deposition of an overlay with electrostactic self-assembly method in long period fiber gratings
It was proved that the deposition of an overlay material onto a long-period fiber grating causes important shifts in the wavelengths of the typical attenuation bands that are caused by coupling between cladding and core ... -
Deposition of coatings on long-period fiber gratings: tunnel effect analogy
The sensitivity of Long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs), coated with high-refractive-index thin film overlays, to the refractive index and the thickness of the overlay, and to the ambient refractive index, can be enhanced ... -
