Novel highly sensitive protein sensors based on tapered optical fibres modified with Au-based nanocoatings (2016)
Journal Article

Novel protein sensors based on tapered optical fibres modified with Au coatings deposited using two different procedures are proposed. Au-based coatings are deposited onto a nonadiabatic tapered optical fibre using (i) a novel facile method composed...

Highly sensitive contact pressure measurements using FBG patch in endotracheal tube cuff (2016)
Journal Article

A method for measuring the contact pressure between an endotracheal tube cuff and the trachea was designed and developed by using a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) based optical fibre sensor. The FBG sensor is encased in an epoxy based UV-cured cuboid patc... Read More about Highly sensitive contact pressure measurements using FBG patch in endotracheal tube cuff.

Simultaneous temperature and humidity measurements in a mechanical ventilator using an optical fibre sensor (2016)
Journal Article

An optical fibre sensor for simultaneous temperature and humidity measurements consisting of one fibre Bragg grating (FBG) to measure temperature and a mesoporous film of bilayers of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride)(PAH) and silica (SiO2) nanoparticles... Read More about Simultaneous temperature and humidity measurements in a mechanical ventilator using an optical fibre sensor.

Polymeric fibre optic sensor based on a SiO2 nanoparticle film for humidity sensing on wounds (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 SPIE. Optical fibre sensors have the potential to be incorporated into wound dressings to monitor moisture and predict healing without the need to remove the dressing. A low cost polymeric optical fibre humidity sensor based on evanescent wave... Read More about Polymeric fibre optic sensor based on a SiO2 nanoparticle film for humidity sensing on wounds.

Characterization and use of a fiber optic sensor based on PAH/SiO2 film for humidity sensing in ventilator care equipment (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: To develop a compact probe that can be used to monitor humidity in ventilator care equipment. A mesoporous film of alternate layers of Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (bilayers), deposited onto an optic...

A long period grating optical fiber sensor with nano-assembled porphyrin layers for detecting ammonia gas (2016)
Journal Article

In this study, the ability of a long period grating (LPG) optical fiber sensor coated with a multilayer film of poly(diallyldimethyammonium chloride) (PDDA) and tetrakis(4-sulfophenyl)porphine (TSPP) to detect ammonia gas was demonstrated. The nano-a... Read More about A long period grating optical fiber sensor with nano-assembled porphyrin layers for detecting ammonia gas.
