Searching for optimal sensitivity of single-mode D-type optical fiber sensor in the phase measurement

To improve the sensitivity of a single-mode D-type optical fiber sensor, we selected a D-type optical fiber sensor with 4 mm long and 4 μm core thickness made of a single-mode fiber, a Au-coating on the sensor with a thickness range of 15–32 nm, a light wavelength of 632.8 nm, and an incident angle of 86.5–89.5° for different refractive index (1.33–1.40) sensing. These simulations are based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) theory using the phase method which shows that the sensitivity is proportional to the refractive index, Au film thickness and lower incident angle on the sensing interface. The sensitivity is higher than 4000 (degree/RIU), and the resolution is better than 2.5 × 10⁻⁶(RIU) as the minimum phase variation is 0.01°. This device is used to detect the refractive index or gas or liquid concentration in real-time. The proposed sensor is small, simple, inexpensive, and provides an in vivo test.     

Fiber optic glucose sensor based on bionanofilms

In this paper a glucose fiber optic biosensor based on electrostatic self-assembly adsorption technique is proposed. Up to 35 bilayers biofilm was achieved from alternate deposition of enzyme glucose dehydrogenase and polyelectrolytes polyethyleneimine and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate). The layer thickness was characterized using an in situ optical near infrared interferometry method, which showed formation of nanoscale multilayer structure as a function of alternate adsorption cycles. Experiments showed highly efficient adsorption. The catalytic effect of the multilayer film on the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide was studied utilizing ultraviolet fiber optic spectroscopy. The performance of this nanobiofilm onto both the cleaved end of an optical fiber pigtail and a tapered optical fiber structure were compared. As a result enzymes kept their activities after immobilization; the biosensor showed high sensitivity and stability during storage.

Immobilization of a functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) onto β‐cyclodextrin‐coated surfaces by formation of inclusion complexes: Application to the coupling of proteins

The aim of this study was the immobilization of COOH‐modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) layers onto β‐cyclodextrin‐coated surfaces by formation of inclusion complexes, in view of biosensors applications. To this end, PEGs with one phenyladamantyl and one carboxylic end group (Ad‐PEG‐COOH) were prepared according to a three‐step procedure. After modification of PEG with 4‐toluenesulfonylchloride, the reaction of the tosyl intermediate with the alcoholate of 4‐(1‐adamantyl)‐phenol was carried out in tetrahydrofuran to avoid the formation of by‐products. Then, it was shown by high performance liquid chromatography that the association between β‐cyclodextrin cavities and Ad‐PEG‐COOH polymers was not hindered by the presence of the COOH group. Last, the Ad‐PEG‐COOH polymer was immobilized onto β‐cyclodextrin‐coated gold surfaces by formation of inclusion complexes. The immobilization was performed in water, at room temperature, with a rapid kinetics. After activation of COOH groups with N‐hydroxysuccinimide, β‐lactoglobulin was coupled to the biocompatible PEG layer. Functionalization of the gold surface with β‐cyclodextrin cavities, immobilization of Ad‐PEG‐COOH onto the surface, and coupling of the protein to the reactive PEG layer were followed in real time by surface plasmon resonance imaging system. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
