Direct-Dispense Polymeric Waveguides Platform for Optical Chemical Sensors
We describe an automated robotic technique called direct-dispense to fabricate a polymeric platform that supports optical sensor arrays. Direct-dispense, which is a type of the emerging direct-write microfabrication techniques, uses fugitive organic inks in combination with cross-linkable polymers to create microfluidic channels and other microstructures. Specifically, we describe an applicatio...
متن کاملDesign of Integrated Optical Waveguides for HighIy Sensitive Sensors
Silicon based ARROW-A structures have been designed in order to obtain a high sensitive integrated optical transducer for sensing applications. The sensor has a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration. The optical waveguides that confonn its structure have to verify two conditions: monornode behaviour and high surface sensitivity. In this paper we present a theoretical simulation of the propa...
متن کاملOptical Chemical Sensors and Biosensors (incl. Materials for Sensors)
An optical sensor for aqueous 1-butylamine is presented which combines two novel techniques: A fluorescent indicator dye (the "fluoro reactand") embedded in a thin polymer layer performs a reversible chemical reaction with the analyte, causing changes in luminescence intensity. At the same time, inert phosphorescent beads dispersed within the polymer layer provide luminescence signals that act ...
متن کاملA compact readout platform for spectral-optical sensors
The continuous monitoring of industrial and environmental processes is becoming an increasingly important aspect with both economic and societal impact. So far, spectral-optical sensors with their outstanding properties in terms of sensitivity and reliability have not been considered as a potential solution because of the cost-intensive and bulky readout hardware. Here we present a card-size, i...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Optical Chemical Sensors
Optical chemical sensors have promoted escalating interest in the determination of various pollutants in the environment, which are creating toxicity and may cause serious health problems. This review paper focuses particularly on the recent progress and developments in this field; the working principles and basic classes of optical chemical sensors have been briefly described.
