Optical Microfibre Based Photonic Components and Their Applications in Label-Free Biosensing

Abstract: Optical microfibre photonic components offer a variety of enabling properties, including large evanescent fields, flexibility, configurability, high confinement, robustness and compactness. These unique features have been exploited in a range of applications such as telecommunication, sensing, optical manipulation and high Q resonators. Optical microfibre biosensors, as a class of fibre optic biosensors which rely on small geometries to expose the evanescent field to interact with samples, have been widely inv… Show more

“…Besides the above-mentioned techniques, CO 2 laser beams and electrical heaters have also been used for taper drawing glass or polymer MNFs, and glass MNFs have also been fabricated by local melting or chemical etching [ 38 ]. For more details of MNF fabrication, there have been a number of studies in recent literatures [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 38 ].…”

“…As a combination of fibre optics and nanotechnology, mocro-/nanostructurization of optical fibres has been an important trend for exploring fibre-optic sensing technology on the micro or nanoscale [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. It is obvious that, reducing the size of a sensing structure is usually an essential step to bestow the sensor with higher sensitivity, faster response, lower power consumption and better spatial resolution, and the optical micro/nanofibre (MNF) became one of the best candidates for this purpose.…”

“…Several biosensors based on optical fiber structure have been proposed previously [ 129 , 130 , 131 ]. Recently, the development of TOF provides a potential for high-sensitivity and fast-response biosensors [ 132 , 133 ]. In this sub-section an MFC-structure-based label-free biosensor is presented.…”

“…Such biosensors typically integrate a bio-recognition probe with a transduction system, as well as electronic systems such as signal amplifiers, processors, and display. Transduction platforms, such as quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], micromechanical resonators [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], flow cytometry [ 18 , 31 , 32 , 33 ], amperometry [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], surface plasmon resonance (SPR) [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ], and planar optical waveguides [ 47 , 48 , 49 ], have been investigated. In turn, numerous biological probes such as DNA [ 50 ], RNA [ 51 ], monoclonal [ 52 , 53 ] polyclonal antibodies [ 54 ], bacteriophages [ 35 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ] and their binding proteins [ 58 , 60 ] have been leveraged to impart specificity to the transduction.…”
