The design, fabrication and properties of the large core 1x2Y optical planar splitter using optical elastomers for cladding and core is demonstrated. The splitters were designed by beam propagation method optimized for operation wavelength 650 nm. The splitters were fabricated using epoxy polymer pattern fabricated by Stereolithography 3D printing technology. The dimensions of the splitters were optimized for assembling optical fiber with core diameter 500 µm. The splitter shows optical losses around 1.48 dB at 650 nm, 1.18 dB at 850, 1.82 dB at 1300 nm and 2.12 dB at 1550 nm at room temperature.

“…A 1 × 2 Y-coupler was fabricated with a cutting and gluing technique as shown in Figure 2. Among the many methods of manufacturing such splitters [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57], this was chosen as one of the simplest and less time-consuming. The first PMMA fiber was cut at an angle of 90 degrees and two others were cut at an angle of 14 degrees.…”

Pulse wave measurement is a highly prominent technique used in biomedical diagnostics. The development of novel cost-effective pulse wave sensors will pave the way to more advanced healthcare technologies. This work reports on a pulse wave optical fiber sensor interrogated by a smartphone. The sensor performance was tested in terms of signal to noise ratio, repeatability of demodulated signal and suitability of demodulated signals for the extraction of information about direct and reflected waves. The analysis showed that the observed fluctuations of signal parameters are caused by variability of the state of the cardiovascular system and not by the system noise.

“…Moreover, since the use of SPR sensor is moving beyond simple laboratory applications, ease of manufacture combined with lowcosts and reliability are required. Commonly, injection molding allows to satisfy these requirements [22][23][24]. In addition to the latter, even other fabrication techniques are also commonly used to realize SPR sensor, i.e.…”

In this work, a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) multiparameter sensor for simultaneous determination of refractive index and temperature was manufactured through a novel and low-cost approach. A polymer planar optical structure was realized via inkjet 3D printing, by using photo-curable resins having tailored refractive index for device’s core and cladding, respectively. The multiparameter sensor was fully designed, manufactured, and experimentally tested to check the numerical analyses run on a preliminary phase. In such a way, a temperature resolution equal to about 0.5°C and a refractive index resolution equal to about 2 x 10^-4 RIU were obtained. Next, even a quality control analysis of the 3D printed surface was carried out by following a novel approach that relies on the profile monitoring technique, with the aim to evaluate the suitability of the design and the geometric accuracy control. In addition, thanks to the cost analysis performed through a properly model, it was proved that the multiparameter sensor designed, manufactured and tested satisfies the low – cost requirements, being the estimated cost ~ 23 €, which is an absolutely competitive cost if compared with other traditional sensors. In the end, even the performance of the sensor in terms of bulk sensitivity (equal to about 900 nm/RIU) resulted to be higher than similar devices already presented in the state – of – the – art, thus proving the validity of the developed SPR multiparameter sensor both in economic and performance terms.
