“…The cited examples fully prove that because of their high sensitivity and low sample consumption, MOF‐based optofluidic sensors have attracted abundant research interest. Although these MOF‐based OFOF SPR sensors with superior performance are still in the theoretical analysis stage, these sensing structures can already be prepared according to existing advanced technologies such as drawing, [271] side‐polishing, [273] and drilling [284] . Therefore, it is believed that these sensors will play an important role in practical applications in the near future.…”

Optofluidic, as an emerging technology that combines photons and microfluidics, has become a powerful, intelligent, and universal sensing platform in the field of bio-chemical sensing. Optical fiber optofluidic (OFOF), as a branch of optofluidic technology, has stimulated a host of remarkable achievements in the field of bio-chemical sensing due to its superiority of compact structure, immunity to electromagnetic interference, low sample consumption, high sensitivity, and real-time dynamic response. In this paper, an overview of OFOF bio-chemical sensors is presented. The OFOF system architectures are introduced and some advanced functional materials and coating technologies that can be utilized in the OFOF sensing platform to achieve high-performance biochemical sensing are summarized. Research progress and current status of OFOF bio-chemical sensors based on various sensing mechanisms are summarized and analyzed, with emphases on their sensing principles, sensing structures, sensing applications, advantages, and disadvantages. Lastly, the existing challenges and future development trends of OFOF biochemical sensors are briefly discussed.

“…In earlier stages, PCF fabrication was considered to be implemented using the stack and draw method [55], but this method fails to satisfactorily fabricate the PCF models with a complex and asymmetrical arrangement of holes [56]. To resolve these issues, several more methods have been advanced, which include drilling [57], sol-gel [58], extrusion [59], 3D-printing [46], etc. ese methods are capable to fabricate complex PCF structures.…”

A novel PCF-based sensor has been presented in this paper to sense different chemicals and biocomponents. The proposed biochemical sensor (BCS) comprises a simple arrangement of rectangular holes. The competence of this BCS in detecting analytes is evaluated employing the full-vector finite element method (FEM). Performance metrics prove the competence of this BCS in sensing various analytes that have a refractive index in the range of 1.33–1.48. The proposed BCS shows ultralower values for both the bulk absorption and confinement loss. This BCS attains a maximum of about 95.82% relative sensitivity at 2.5 THz. Also, the dispersion for this sensor is only 0.12 ± 0.011 ps/THz/cm at the same point of interest. These results prove that the proposed BCS will play a key role in sensing toxic chemicals, illegal drugs, biocomponents, etc. Besides, the simple rectangle-based PCF structure ensures the feasibility of fabrication by practicing the existing fabrication strategies.

“…With this technique asymmetric, complex, and submicron structure fabrication was almost impossible. Then with time drilling [123], 3D printing [124], sol-gel [125], and extrusion [126] techniques were developed for the fabrication of advanced PCF. Selective infiltration of air holes either with analyte or particles [105,127] and application of noble metal or thin film coating inside air hole or outside of PCF [128,129,130] enhance its sensitivity several times over existing fiber sensors.…”

Photonic crystal fiber sensors have potential application in environmental monitoring, industry, biomedicine, food preservation, and many more. These sensors work based on advanced and flexible phototonic crystal fiber (PCF) structures, controlled light propagation for the measurement of amplitude, phase, polarization and wavelength of spectrum, and PCF-incorporated interferometry techniques. In this article various PCF-based physical sensors are summarized with the advancement of time based on reported works. Some physical PCF sensors are discussed based on solid core as well as hollow core structures, dual core fibers, liquid infiltrated structures, metal coated fibers, grating incorporated fibers. With the advancement of sensing technology the possibilities of temperature, pressure, strain, twist, curvature, electromagnetic field, and refractive index sensing are discussed. Also, limitations as well as possible solutions and future hopes are outlined.
