Article Abstract

A proof-of-concept multiwindow fiber-optic sensor utilizing multiple particle plasmon resonance (PPR) of silver nanoparticles and gold nanorods separately on two unclad portions of the fiber for multianalyte detection is demonstrated. The detection is based on intensity interrogation of multiple wavelengths by a single detector. Time division multiplexing is employed to modulate the illumination of dual-wavelength LEDs to induce PPRs for simultaneous real-time and label-free monitoring of two types of biomolecular interactions. Preliminary results reveal that a refractive index resolution of 9 ×10(-6) RIU is achieved. Moreover, the measured intensities of two windows independently respond to their respective binding events. The potential of the sensor architecture with multiple sensing windows for cascaded, higher throughput, and multianalyte biochemical detection can be expected.

Accurate and noninvasive detection of cancer cells is critical for advancing early stage cancer diagnostics and monitoring tumor progression. While manual enumeration methods, such as hemocytometry, remain in use, they suffer from limited sensitivity and scalability. In this article, we report the first feasibility study demonstrating a graphene oxide (GO)-functionalized long-period fiber grating (LPG) sensor for the label-free detection of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell density via secreted cellular byproducts.

Fiber optic surface plasmon resonance sensor (SPR) play an important role in various fields where highly sensitive sensors are suitable. In this paper, we propose an SPR refractive index sensor composed of multi-mode fiber-coreless fiber-multimode fiber (MCM) structure modified by Au/TiO2 nanofiber material. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the TiO2 nanofiber/Au structure sensor is 3687.

The use of 3T MRI in patients with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads is limited by safety concerns due to radiofrequency (RF) heating. A promising strategy to overcome this problem involves RF shimming using low-specific absorption rate (SAR) calibration scans to estimate the RF-induced currents based on image artifacts near the leads. Although clinically available two-channel RF shimming can suppress RF heating in a single lead configuration, complete nulling is not possible when more than one lead is involved.

Lightning strikes pose a significant threat to the structural integrity and operational performance of wind turbine blades. Due to the high probability of lightning strikes but the difficulty in capturing their dynamic data, obtaining comprehensive data on blades subjected to lightning strikes is challenging. This study presents a rare multimodal dataset for wind turbine blade monitoring during lightning strikes (MDWTBM-LS).

A respiratory monitoring sensor based on a balloon-shaped optical fiber is proposed. The sensor consists of a single-mode fiber (SMF) coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) bent into a balloon shape to form a fiber optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The sensor's sensitivity to temperature enables monitoring of breathing status by recognizing the temperature changes that occur during human respiration.
