Evanescent Wave Fibre Optic Sensors: Theory
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This chapter gives a theoretical picturization of the evanescent field at the core-cladding interface of dielectric waveguides and deals with the theoretical modelling ofevanescent wave based fibre optic sensors. We also discuss some crucial parameters which are very much essential in the design of a variety of intensity modulated evanescent wave fibre optic sensors.

Fibre-fluorescence immunosensor based on evanescent wave detection
A fibre-optic sensor capable of detecting an immune reaction between fluorescently labelled antigens and antibodies bound at the waveguide surface is described. In a configuration where skew rays were detected, a signal level was found that made detection of a concentration of 10e9 M antigen possible. Keywork Fibre-optic sensor; Immune reactions The evanescent wave is a well known physical phen...
متن کاملA fluorescent coagulation assay for thrombin using a fibre optic evanescent wave sensor.
A fibre optic evanescent wave sensor is used for the rapid detection of thrombin. Coagulation of solution phase fluorescently labelled fibrinogen to unlabelled fibrinogen bound to the surface of the fibre optic is observed in real time by the evanescent wave sensor. Thrombin concentrations down to 0.01 NIHml(-1) are detectable within 5 min. The potential application of this technique for rapid ...
متن کاملTheory of fiber-optic, evanescent-wave spectroscopy and sensors.
A general theory for fiber-optic, evanescent-wave spectroscopy and sensors is presented for straight, uncladded, step-index, multimode fibers. A three-dimensional model is formulated within the framework of geometric optics. The model includes various launching conditions, input and output end-face Fresnel transmission losses, multiple Fresnel reflections, bulk absorption, and evanescent-wave a...
متن کاملTransmission property and evanescent wave absorption of cladded multimode fiber tapers.
Cladded multimode fiber optic tapers are proposed as chemical sensors using evanescent wave absorption. There is no need to strip the cladding; therefore, fabrication is easy and the taper is mechanically stronger than the taper without cladding. The transmission property and evanescent wave absorption are modeled using ray theory and wave theory, respectively. Effects of some parameters on the...
متن کاملA fibre optic evanescent wave sensor for monitoring the rate of pulsed laser deposition of metal thin films
A novel sensing technique for the in situ monitoring of the rate of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of metal thin films has been developed. This optical fibre based sensor works on the principle of the evanescent wave penetration of waveguide modes into the uncladded portion of a multimode fibre. The utility of this optical fibre sensor is demonstrated in the case of PLD of silver thin films obta...
