Fiber-optic immunosensor based on lossy mode resonances induced by indium tin oxide thin-films
A novel immunosensor based on lossy mode resonances (LMRs) induced in optical fibers is developed in this contribution. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is sputtered on the optical substrate to generate an LMR in the transmission ... -
Towards personal privacy control
In this paper we address the realization of personal privacy control in the era of pervasive computing. How could an individual meet his/her expected level of privacy? how could the system guaranty that a user privacy ... -
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 ... -
A comparative study between SMS interferometers and lossy mode resonace optical fiber devices for sensing applications
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 ... -
A user-centric privacy framework for pervasive environments
One inherent feature of pervasive computing environments is the need to gather and process context information about real persons. Unfortunately, this unavoidably affects persons¿ privacy to a large degree. Each time ... -
