AI Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a modular sensing technique that uses complex emulsions as effective transducers for optical sensing devices.
- The method exploits changes in droplet size and orientation, which can be adjusted chemically, to manipulate the refractive index.
- As the refractive index changes, it leads to noticeable variations in the light transmitted through a waveguide, allowing for easy detection.
Article Abstract
We report on a new modular sensing approach in which complex emulsions serve as efficient transducers in optical evanescent field-based sensing devices. Specifically, we leverage the tunable refractive index upon chemically triggered changes in droplet morphology or orientation. Variations in the optical coupling result in readily detectable changes in the light transmitted from a waveguide.
