TL;DR: In this article, a transmission sensor able to detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) has been developed using optical fiber with Plastic Cladding (PCS) Specifically, 15 cm of the cladding was removed in order to deposit an organometallic compound whose chemical structure is [Au 2 Ag 2 (C 6 F 5 ) 4 (C6 H 5 C CC 6 H 5 ) 2 ] along this section This complex reacts reversely in presence of organic vapors such as alcohols, therefore, it is used as sensing material The compound was altered to show a

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel fiber-optic immunoglobulin G biosensor based on lossy mode resonances is proposed, which is obtained by depositing a PAH/PSS layer-by-layer thin-film on a cladding removed optical fiber.

TL;DR: In this article, a low-cost optical fiber strain gauge based on the bending of a biconically tapered singlemode fiber was fabricated and an extensive experimental study was previously performed in order to choose the best tapering on the optical fiber.

TL;DR: In this article, a new humidity sensor has been developed by coating a tapered single-mode standard communications fiber with a humidity sensitive nanofilm using the electrostatic self-assembled (ESA) monolayer technique.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study about the utilization of a commercially available product, Liquicoat ® for the fabrication of pH sensors by dip-coating is presented, where it was possible to fabricate optical fiber sensors with a wide operation range, the whole acid range from pH 1 to 6 with a response time of less than 90
