“…A similar system was reported in [ 11 ] for the interrogation of chirped fiber Bragg grating sensors, inscribed on a multimode fiber for strain and temperature sensing. The chirped grating, with bandwidth ~ 8 nm at the red wavelength, exhibits a wavelength shift that can be detected by estimating the pixel-based spectrum via signal processing.…”

“…A different approach was proposed by Markvart et al [ 11 , 106 ], who showed the possibility to interrogate traditional wavelength-selective fiber-optic sensors, such as interferometers [ 106 ] or gratings [ 11 ], using an architecture based on the smartphone. The first system, shown in Figure 12 , is designed for the interrogation of Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometers.…”

In the last years, optical fiber sensors have proven to be a reliable and versatile biosensing tool. Optical fiber biosensors (OFBs) are analytical devices that use optical fibers as transducers, with the advantages of being easily coated and biofunctionalized, allowing the monitorization of all functionalization and detection in real-time, as well as being small in size and geometrically flexible, thus allowing device miniaturization and portability for point-of-care (POC) testing. Knowing the potential of such biosensing tools, this paper reviews the reported OFBs which are, at the moment, the most cost-effective. Different fiber configurations are highlighted, namely, end-face reflected, unclad, D- and U-shaped, tips, ball resonators, tapered, light-diffusing, and specialty fibers. Packaging techniques to enhance OFBs’ application in the medical field, namely for implementing in subcutaneous, percutaneous, and endoscopic operations as well as in wearable structures, are presented and discussed. Interrogation approaches of OFBs using smartphones’ hardware are a great way to obtain cost-effective sensing approaches. In this review paper, different architectures of such interrogation methods and their respective applications are presented. Finally, the application of OFBs in monitoring three crucial fields of human life and wellbeing are reported: detection of cancer biomarkers, detection of cardiovascular biomarkers, and environmental monitoring.

Sensors play a key role on the Internet of Things (IoT), providing monitoring inside and outside the networks in a multitude of parameters. A fundamental parameter to sense is temperature, being essential to acquire knowledge on the best way to include thermal sensing into the communications networks. Despite that the temperature measurement in the optical domain is well known for its advantages compared with the electric one, its incorporation in the IoT is a challenge due to the lack of affordable strategies able to convert optical into an electronic signal in a cost‐effective way. The coupling of such optical sensors to smartphones appears as an exciting strategy for mobile optical (mOptical) sensing. Herein, advances in optical temperature sensors for mOptical sensing are reviewed and the chronological mechanistic context of waveguided and nonguided optical signal sensors is outlined. A new path for advances in photonics research is traced, established by the incorporation of smartphones as a tool in science and engineering that foresees new designs for mOptical temperature sensor toward IoT.

As a special kind of Bragg grating, phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG) has attracted extensive attention because of its extremely narrow transmission window and excellent sensing performance. The main purpose of this manuscript is to discuss the PS-FBG with special sensing characteristics and explore the influence of different inscription technologies on the sensing characteristics of PS-FBG by comparing the existing inscription methods. The sensing characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of PS-FBG with different structures are analyzed.
