High-sensitivity refractive index sensors based on fused tapered photonic crystal fiber

In this paper, a novel liquid refractive index （R/） sensor based on fused tapered photonic crystal fiber （PCF） is proposed. It is fabricated by fusing and tapering a section of PCF which is spliced with two single-mode fibers （SMFs）. Due to the fused biconical taper method, the sensor becomes longer and thinner, to make the change of the outside RI has more direct effects on the internal optical field of the PCF, which finally enhances the sensitivity of this sensor. Experimental results show that the transmission spectra of the sensor are red-shifted obviously with the increase of RI. The longer the tapered region of the sensor, the higher the sensitivity is. This sensor has the advantages of simple structure, easy fabri- cation, high performance and so on, so it has potential applications in RI measurement.

Magnetically induced micropillar arrays for an ultrasensitive flexible sensor with a wireless recharging system

Significant efforts have been devoted to enhancing the sensitivity and working range of flexible pressure sensors to improve the precise measurement of subtle variations in pressure over a wide detection spectrum. However,achieving sensitivities exceeding 1000 kPa^(-1) while maintaining a pressure working range over 100 kPa is still challenging because of the limited intrinsic properties of soft matrix materials. Here, we report a magnetic field-induced porous elastomer with micropillar arrays(MPAs) as sensing materials and a well-patterned nickel fabric as an electrode. The developed sensor exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity of 10,268 kPa^(-1)(0.6–170 kPa) with a minimum detection pressure of 0.25 Pa and a fast response time of 3 ms because of the unique structure of the MPAs and the textured morphology of the electrode. The porous elastomer provides an extended working range of up to 500 kPa with long-time durability. The sophisticated sensor system coupled with an integrated wireless recharging system comprising a flexible supercapacitor and inductive coils for transmission achieves excellent performance. Thus, a diverse range of practical applications requiring a low-to-high pressure range sensing can be developed. Our strategy, which combines a microstructured high-performance sensor device with a wireless recharging system, provides a basis for creating next-generation flexible electronics.

An ultrahigh-sensitivity and selective sensing material for ethanol： α-/γ-Fe2O3 mixed-phase mesoporous nanofibers

A process for synthesizing Fe2O3 based on electrospinning and the hard-template method was proposed such that the crystal phase of Fe2O3 could be tailored with precision. Mesoporous γ-Fe2O3, α-/γ-Fe2O3, and α-Fe2O3 nanofibers could be fabricated successfully by changing the synthesis parameters. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analyses, Raman spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses were used to characterize the structures of the synthesized products. The optimal calcination conditions for preparing α-/γ-FeaO3 nanofibers with the highest ethanol response were determined through ethanol-sensing measurements. The mixed-phase material exhibited a significantly higher sensitivity than the corresponding purephase ones. The superior ethanol-sensing performance of the α-/γ-Fe2O3 nanofibers suggested that they may be suitable for use in alcohol sensing. Hence, a novel strategy for improving the sensing performance of metal oxide semiconductors is to assemble the different crystalline forms of the same metal oxide in one structure. Finally, the mechanism responsible for the sensing performance of α-/γ-Fe2O3 being higher than those of γ-Fe2O3 and α-Fe2O3 was elucidated on the basis of data from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and resistance measurements.

Highly sensitive and selective two-photon sensing of cartap using Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles

A highly sensitive and selective two-photon sensing scheme for detection of cartap was developed by using Au@Ag bimetallic core-shell nanoparticles.Cartap was found to induce the aggregation of Au@Ag nanoparticles and up to 700-fold enhancement in two-photon photoluminescence.Huge enhancement in two-photon photoluminescence allows achieving a detection limit of as low as 0.0062 mg/kg,which is better than the conventional colorimetric methods.This two-photon sensing scheme has a broad dynamic range and displays excellent selectivity in detection of cartap against over other ten kinds of commonly used insecticides.

An optic fiber sensor for multiple gases based on fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy and microring resonator arrays

A high-sensitivity sensor for multiple gases based on microring array filter and fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy system is proposed and demonstrated. The parameters of the resonators are designed so that the filtered signal from a broadband light source can be tuned with an absorption spectral line of gas. Therefore, through adding microring resonators horizontally and vertically, the number of target gases and filter range are increased. In this research, in the broad spectral range of about 0.9 μm, only the absorption spectral lines of target gases are filtered. The simulation results show that three target gases, CH_4, CO_2 and HF, can be simultaneously detected by the sensing system. Owing to the fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy, the whole system is optimized in mini-size and sensitivity, and we can choose different sensing methods to enhance the measurement accuracy for high and low concentration conditions.

Parameters optimization of π-phase-shifted long-period fiber grating for gas sensing

The gas-sensitive film coated π-phase-shifted long-period fiber grating(LPFG),consisting of two same long-period fiber gratings cascaded by a regular fiber with length of half of the grating period,is proposed for gas sensing.The sensitivity of the sensor is defined by the change rate of the transmission at specific wavelength with respect to the film refractive index.The qualitative and numerical analyses show that to get a high sensitivity,the optimal coupling strength of each long-period fiber grating is √2 π/4.With this coupling strength,the longer the grating is,the higher sensitivity the sensor has.By choosing appropriate grating period,a high sensitivity for the film with a certain refractive index and thickness can be attained.

Micro-Displacement Sensor Based on High Sensitivity Photonic Crystal

In this paper, we present a micro-displacement sensor formed by the fixed and movable photonic crystal slabs. In this sensor, a waveguide was created by changing the radius of holes rather than removing them. At a proper operating wavelength, the structure could be used as the micro-displacement sensor. The results revealed that the micro-displacement sensor had a sensitivity of 3.6 gm-1, the Q-factor was nearly 180, and the sensing range was 0.0 ~tm - 0.5 p.m. The properties of the micro-displacement sensor are also analyzed theoretically and verified using the finite-difference time-domain （FDTD） method carried out using the software （Rsoft）.

A novel biosensor with enhanced sensitivity based on grating coupled double-layered porous silicon waveguide

The enhanced sensitivity of a guided mode biosensor is analyzed by employing double-layered porous silicon grating structures. The grating-coupled waveguide structure consists of two porous silicon grating layers with different refractive indices. simulations are carried out by changing the refractive index, which is due to the binding of biological molecules on the porous silicon pore can increase the refractive index of porous silicon. The numerical results show that this novel guided mode biosensor with a double-layered grating can provide not only a very high sensitivity but also a better reflectivity characteristic.
