TL;DR: Using an optical biosensor based on a dual-peak long-period fiber grating, the detection of interactions between biomolecules in real time is demonstrated, demonstrating a function of multiple usability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a silicon MEMS optical accelerometer based on the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) principle is reported, in which the displacement of the proof mass is mechanically amplified by a V-beam structure prior to transduction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the refractive index sensing properties of LPGs with sol-gel derived titanium and silicon oxide coatings and found that a coating with higher index and thickness will enhance the LPG RI sensitivity significantly.

TL;DR: An overview of the early-stage experimental data and methodology is provided, the potential of fibre gratings for use as biosensors to monitor both nucleic acid and other biomolecular interactions are examined and a summary of the theory and fabrication of fibre grating fabrication from a biological standpoint is given.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of surface plasmonic fiber devices were fabricated using multiple coatings deposited on a lapped section of a single mode fiber, which showed high spectral sensitivities and strong coupling for low refractive indices as compared to other grating type fiber devices.
