Tip sensor probe for changing refractive index measurement in small volumes
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, a tapered tip optical fiber probe sensor for localized refractive index (RI) measurements is presented. This sensor’s interaction with analytes is confined to a few micro-meters which makes it a promising candidate for in-vivo or even intra-cellular RI monitoring. This tapered tip was simply fabricated by etching optical fiber with hydrofluoric acid to a conic shape with a sub-micrometer aperture. The sensor was calibrated for RI measurement using different concentrations of NaCl in water. Limit of detection of 6.7×10-5 RIU was achieved for this low-cost sensor.

full textDesign and Simulation of piezorestive pressure sensor for AFM Probe the displacement measurement
investigating pressure applied in surface vertically that is done by use of mechanical procedures isn’t efficient to measure pressure applied in inner surface of reservoir or pipes having gas due to entering pressure into whole walls and different surfaces. So, in order to measure this kind of pressure, several studies were conducted in past decades and also various procedures were proposed tha...

In this paper we present an interferometer based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF) tip ended with a solid silica-sphere for refractive index sensing. The sensor is fabricated by splicing one end of the holey PCF to a single mode fiber (SMF) and applying arc at the other end to form a solid sphere. The sensor has been experimentally tested for refractive index and temperature sensing by monitoring...

A simple and compact fiber optic sensor based on a two-core fiber is demonstrated for high-performance measurements of refractive indices (RI) of liquids. In order to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed sensor to perform high-sensitivity sensing in a variety of applications, the sensor has been used to measure the RI of binary liquid mixtures. Such measurements can accurately determine ...

We describe a dual-core microstructured optical fiber designed for refractive index sensing of fluids. We show that by using the exponential dependence of intercore coupling on analyte refractive index, both large range and high sensitivity can be achieved in the one device. We also show that selective filling of the microstructure with analyte can increase the device sensitivity by approximate...

A B C light in a medium is difficult, it is quite easy to compare the velocity of light in one medium with the velocity of light in another. A suitable instrument for this purpose is the Rayleigh Interference Refractometer. This instrument is shown diagramatically in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a plan view showing the components as they appear from above. Figure 2 is a side view of the same ar...
