In this review, we introduce photonic crystal fibre as a novel optofluidic microdevice that can
be employed as both a versatile chemical sensor and a highly efficient microreactor. We …

Photonic crystal fibers are a kind of fiber optics that present a diversity of new and improved
features beyond what conventional optical fibers can offer. Due to their unique geometric …

We propose a novel surface-plasmon-resonance sensor design based on coating the holes
of a three-hole microstructured optical fiber with a low-index dielectric layer on top of which a …

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) have received tremendous interest in recent years for many
biomedical applications due to their unique light-guiding properties. PCF based …

The development of optical fibers with suspended cores has enabled the demonstration of a
range of powerful new techniques for chemical and biological sensing. Here the fabrication …

An enhanced compact sensitivity of glucose sensor in the presence of human blood using
tricore photonic crystal fibre is numerically proposed where one hollow channel filled by …

We report a new approach for the fabrication of nanowires: the direct drawing of optical
fibers with air suspended nanoscale cores. The fibers were made from lead silicate glass …

This paper provides an up‐to‐date overview on the use of microstructured optical fibers
(MOFs) in chemical sensing during the last ten years, more specifically, applications in liquid …

Abstract Lab-in-a-Fiber (LIF), a counterpart of Lab-on-a-chip, however, deployed within the
cylindrical optical fiber geometry, emerges as a promising approach into the development of …

We report the fabrication of silica microstructured optical fibers with the core exposed along
the whole length, and characterize the stability of these new fibers when exposed to some …
