“…There are three different variants of the MZ interferometer: Open path, fiber-based, and planar waveguide-based interferometers are shown in Figure 4. The MZ interferometer has been exploited for temperature [68][69], pressure [70], strain [71][72], seismology [73], vibration [74], current [75], magnetic field [76], water salinity [77] and bio-sensing applications [78].…”

Exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is widely associated with adverse health effects.Detection and monitoring of VOCs are important for maintaining safe and healthy industrial and domestic environments. Interferometry is a highly-sensitive optical measurement technique that has been widely applied to a vast range of physical parameters from the speed of light to temperature and has also been used to detect VOCs at the sub-ppm range. Owing to the vast range of interferometer arrangements and processing techniques, this review assesses the different approaches adopted in detecting VOCs. Different interferometry arrangements including the Fabry-Perot interferometry, Sagnac interferometry and Mach-Zehnder interferometry are reviewed for VOC detection, including the different sensing films and materials employed. We present the basis of each technique, applications and limitations. The different interferometry techniques are summarized by comparing the sensitivity, limit of detection, linearity, response time and the challenges of current interferometry techniques.Lastly, prospects to realize a miniaturized, high-sensitive and multiplex interferometric sensors based on the recent technology are suggested.
