Optical biochemical sensors based on long-period fibre gratings UV-inscribed in D-fibre with enhanced sensitivity by HF etching process

Abstract

We report a new concept of biochemical sensor device based on long-period grating structures UV-inscribed in D-fiber. The surrounding-medium refractive index sensitivity of the devices has been enhanced significantly by a hydrofluoric acid etching process. The devices have been used to measure the sugar concentrations showing clearly an encoding relation between the chemical concentration and the grating spectral response, demonstrating their capability for potential biochemical sensing applications.
