Based on the surface plasmon resonance of metal and anti-resonant principles of hole-core microstructure optical fiber (MSF), in this Letter, we demonstrate a MSF microfluidic sensor that combines silver film and hole-core MSF to achieve the sensitive real-time monitoring of refractive indices and components. The large hole core is a common channel for guiding light and flowing measured liquid. Because of the interaction between light and continuous flow measured liquid, the component and refractive indices can be simultaneously monitored by the characteristic absorption wavelength and the surface plasmon resonant peak position, respectively. These results indicate that the MSF microfluidic sensor is an ideal multi-parameter measurement optical sensor.

Glaucoma is an irreversible, progressive, degenerative eye disorder arising because of increased intraocular pressure, resulting in eventual vision loss if untreated. The QSPR relates, mathematically, by employing various algorithms, a specified property of a molecule that arises either from physical, chemical, or biological phenomena using various aspects of its structure. Here in, a similar application based on topological indices and inferences derived from the structure for the calculation of different drug properties like molar refractivity, refractive index, enthalpy, boiling points, molecular weight, and polarizability is presented.

Fluorescent antennas (FAs) exhibit considerable promise in optical wireless communication (OWC), primarily due to their advantages over conventional optical systems in terms of optical gain and field of view (FoV). This paper presents a COMSOL-based model designed to optimize external light-concentrating structures for FAs, with its accuracy validated through both qualitative and quantitative comparisons. Leveraging refractive index modulation and the conservation of optical étendue, two distinct light-concentrating structures are developed.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate what we believe to be the first mid-infrared surface plasmon resonance (SPR) fiber optic sensor using a D-shaped multimode silica optical fiber coated with a 105 nm indium tin oxide (ITO) layer. The sensor shows resonance around 2700 nm, with a refractive index sensitivity of 1065.70 nm per refractive index unit (nm/RIU) for refractive indices ranging from 1.

In this study, we developed terahertz (THz) metamaterial devices with attenuated total reflection (ATR) geometries for biosensing applications. This was achieved by transferring the metamaterial patterns fabricated on a polyimide film to a prism-top surface. We characterized the resonance characteristics of metasurfaces for different THz wave polarizations and gap structure orientations in the metamaterials.

An open channel exposed core microstructured fiber is designed and fabricated for pressure and refractive index sensing. The core is on a flat platform surrounded by the cladding on which there is an open gap that allows the surrounding medium to contact the core. Due to the specially designed microstructure, the external pressure compresses the fiber core and causes changes of birefringence because of the photo-elastic effect.
