Long-Period Gratings as Immuno-Diagnostic biosensors

This research presents a novel biosensor which utilizes the refractive index sensitivity of a fiber optic long-period grating. The long period grating couples light from the forward propagating guided core mode of a single-mode fiber into discrete circularly symmetric cladding modes. Due to imperfec...
