Article Abstract

Pressure sensing plays an important role in many industrial fields; conventional electronic pressure sensors struggle to survive in the harsh environment. Recently microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fiber-optic Fabry-Perot (FP) pressure sensors have attracted great interest. Here we review the basic principles of MEMS fiber-optic FP pressure sensors and then discuss the sensors based on different materials and their industrial applications. We also introduce recent progress, such as two-photon polymerization-based 3D printing technology, and the state-of-the-art in this field, e.g., sapphire-based sensors that work up to 1200 °C. Finally, we discuss the limitations and opportunities for future development.

Wearable Fabric System for Sarcopenia Detection.

Biosensors (Basel)

December 2024

School of Science, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), University Town, Shenzhen 518055, China.

Sarcopenia has been a serious concern in the context of an increasingly aging global population. Existing detection methods for sarcopenia are severely constrained by cumbersome devices, the necessity for specialized personnel, and controlled experimental environments. In this study, we developed an innovative wearable fabric system based on conductive fabric and flexible sensor array.

Detecting Hypoxia Through the Non-Invasive and Simultaneous Monitoring of Sweat Lactate and Tissue Oxygenation.

Biosensors (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo, 200 University Ave West, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada.

Hypoxia, characterized by inadequate tissue oxygenation, may result in tissue damage and organ failure if not addressed. Current detection approaches frequently prove insufficient, depending on symptoms and rudimentary metrics such as tissue oxygenation, which fail to comprehensively identify the onset of hypoxia. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) has recognized sweat lactate as a possible marker for the early identification of decubitus ulcers, nevertheless, neither sweat lactate nor oxygenation independently provides an appropriate diagnosis of hypoxia.

Compartment syndrome (CS) arises from various etiologies but is most commonly associated with severe traumatic injuries. It is a difficult diagnosis to make in a timely fashion because clinical signs and symptoms are subjective. Missing the diagnosis is a devastating mistake for the patient and the physician.

High-Efficiency Fluorescent-Coupled Optical Fiber Passive Tactile Sensor with Integrated Microlens for Surface Texture and Roughness Detection.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

December 2024

College of Electrical and Information Engineering, SANYA Offshore Oil and Gas Research Institute, Northeast Petroleum University, Daqing 163318, China.

Integrating ZnS:Cu@AlO/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) flexible matrices with optical fibers is crucial for the development of practical passive sensors. However, the fluorescence coupling efficiency is constrained by the small numerical aperture of the fiber, leading to a reduction in sensor sensitivity. To mitigate this limitation, a microsphere lens was fabricated at the end of the multimode fiber, which resulted in a 21.
