A photonic crystal fiber-based fluorescence sensor for simultaneous and sensitive detection of lactic acid enantiomers.

ABSTRACT: A photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based fluorescence sensor is developed for rapid and sensitive detection of lactic acid (LA) enantiomers in serum samples. The sensor is fabricated by chemical binding dual enzymes on the inner surface of the PCF with numerous pore structures and a large specific surface area, which is suitable to be utilized as an enzymatic reaction carrier. To achieve simultaneous detection of L-LA and D-LA, the PCF with an aldehyde-activated surface is cut into two separate pieces, one of which is coated with L-LDH/GPT enzymes and the other with D-LDH/GPT enzymes. By being connected and carefully aligned to each other by a suitable sleeve tube connector, the responses of both L-LA and D-LA sensors are determined by laser-induced flourescence (LIF) detection. With the aid of enzyme-linked catalytic reactions, the proposed PCF sensor can greatly improve the sensitivity and analysis speed for the detection of LA enantiomers. The PCF sensor exhibits a low limit of detection of 9.5 μM and 0.8 μM, and a wide linear range of 25-2000 μM and 2-400 μM for L-LA and D-LA, respectively. The sensor has been successfully applied to accurate determination of LA enantiomers in human serum with satisfactory reproducibility and stability. It is indicated that the present PCF sensors would be used as an attractive analytical platform for quantitative detection of trace-amount LA enantiomers in real biological samples, and thus would play a role in disease diagnosis and clinical monitoring in point-of-care testing.

The suggested structure is folded cladding porous shaped with circular air hole. Here is investigated four distinctive parameters including relative sensitivity, confinement loss, numerical aperture (NA), and effective area (Aeff). The numerical outcomes are computed over the E+S+C+L+U communication band. The useable sensed chemicals are methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and pentanol whose are lies in the alcohol series (Paul et al., 2017) [1]. Furthermore, V-parameter (V), Marcuse spot size (MSS), and beam divergence (BD) are also investigated rigorously. All examined results have been obtained using finite element method based simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2 versions with anisotropic circular perfectly matched layer (A-CPML). The proposed PCF shows the high NA from 0.35 to 0.36; the low CL from ~10-11 to ~10-7 dB/m; the high Aeff from 5.50 to 5.66 µm2; the MSS from 1.0 to 1.08 µm; the BD from 0.43 to 0.46 rad at the controlling wavelength λ = 1.55 µm for employing alcohol series respectively.

Real-time biomolecular binding detection using a sensitive photonic crystal biosensor.

Project description:Real-time measurement of specific biomolecular interactions is critical to many areas of biological research. A number of label-free techniques for directly monitoring biomolecular binding have been developed, but it is still challenging to measure the binding kinetics of very small molecules, to detect low concentrations of analyte molecules, or to detect low affinity interactions. In this study, we report the development of a highly sensitive photonic crystal biosensor for label-free, real-time biomolecular binding analysis. We characterize the performance of this biosensor using a standard streptavidin-biotin binding system. Optimization of the surface functionalization methods for streptavidin immobilization on the silica sensing surface is presented, and the specific binding of biotinylated analyte molecules ranging over 3 orders of magnitude in molecular weight, including very small molecules (<250 Da), DNA oligonucleotides, proteins, and antibodies (>150 000 Da), are detected in real time with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, we document the sensor efficiency for low mass adsorption, as well as multilayered molecular interactions. By all important metrics for sensitivity, we anticipate this photonic crystal biosensor will provide new capabilities for highly sensitive measurements of biomolecular binding.

Highly sensitive optical ion sensor with ionic liquid-based colorimetric membrane/photonic crystal hybrid structure.

Project description:An ionic liquid-based thin (~ 1 µm) colorimetric membrane (CM) is a key nano-tool for optical ion sensing, and a two-dimensional photonic crystal slab (PCS) is an important nano-platform for ultimate light control. For highly sensitive optical ion sensing, this report proposes a hybrid of these two optical nano-elements, namely, a CM/PCS hybrid. This structure was successfully fabricated by a simple and rapid process using nanoimprinting and spin-coating, which enabled control of the CM thickness. Optical characterization of the hybrid structure was conducted by optical measurement and simulation of the reflection spectrum, indicating that the light confined in the holes of the PCS was drastically absorbed by the CM when the spectrum overlapped with the absorption spectrum of the CM. This optical property obtained by the hybridization of CM and PCS enabled drastic improvement in the absorption sensitivity in Ca ion sensing, by ca. 78 times compared to that without PCS. Experimental and simulated investigation of the relation between the CM thickness and absorption sensitivity enhancement suggested that the controlled light in the PCS enhanced the absorption cross-section of the dye molecules within the CM based on the enhanced local density of states. This highly sensitive optical ion sensor is expected to be applied for micro-scale bio-analysis like cell-dynamics based on reflectometric Ca ion detection.

Difunctional Hydrogel Optical Fiber Fluorescence Sensor for Continuous and Simultaneous Monitoring of Glucose and pH.

Project description:It is significant for people with diabetes to know their body's real-time glucose level, which can guide the diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to research continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as it gives us real-time information about our health condition and its dynamic changes. Here, we report a novel hydrogel optical fiber fluorescence sensor segmentally functionalized with fluorescein derivative and CdTe QDs/3-APBA, which can continuously monitor pH and glucose simultaneously. In the glucose detection section, the complexation of PBA and glucose will expand the local hydrogel and decrease the fluorescence of the quantum dots. The fluorescence can be transmitted to the detector by the hydrogel optical fiber in real time. As the complexation reaction and the swelling-deswelling of the hydrogel are all reversible, the dynamic change of glucose concentration can be monitored. For pH detection, the fluorescein attached to another segment of the hydrogel exhibits different protolytic forms when pH changes and the fluorescence changes correspondingly. The significance of pH detection is compensation for pH errors in glucose detection because the reaction between PBA and glucose is sensitive to pH. The emission peaks of the two detection units are 517 nm and 594 nm, respectively, so there is no signal interference between them. The sensor can continuously monitor glucose in 0-20 mM and pH in 5.4-7.8. The advantages of this sensor are multi-parameter simultaneous detection, transmission-detection integration, real-time dynamic detection, and good biocompatibility.

Angle-Sensitive Photonic Crystals for Simultaneous Detection and Photocatalytic Degradation of Hazardous Diazo Compounds.

Project description:Congo Red (CR) and Amido Black 10B (AB-10B) are anionic diazo dyes, which are metabolized to produce a bioaccumulative and persistent carcinogen, benzidine. In this regard, an angle sensitive sensor composed of photonic crystal supported photocatalyst was fabricated for the simultaneous detection and photocatalytic degradation of diazo dyes from aqueous solutions. Reflectance spectroscopy was used in the detection of CR and AB-10B, which was based on the emergence of the incident angle dependent reflection peaks from the TiO2 coated two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PhC) surfaces and their subsequent quenching due to the presence of dye molecules whose absorbance peak intensity overlapped the reflection peak intensity of TiO2 at the respective angle. Interestingly, ultraviolet (UV) mediated photocatalytic degradation of CR and AB-10B was achieved using the same TiO2 coated 2D-PhC surfaces. 2D-PhC underneath the TiO2 layer was able to confine and localize the light on the TiO2 coated 2D-PhC surface, which enhanced the light absorption by dye molecules on the TiO2 surface and the photocatalytic efficiency in the degradation of CR and AB-10B. Finally, this proof-of-concept study demonstrated the fabrication of copolymer film based photonic crystal supported photocatalytic device, which can be used for developing miniaturized sensors competent in on-field detection and degradation of pollutants.

Theoretical Investigation of an Alcohol-Filled Tellurite Photonic Crystal Fiber Temperature Sensor Based on Four-Wave Mixing.

Project description:For this study, a temperature sensor utilizing a novel tellurite photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is designed. In order to improve the sensor sensitivity, alcohol is filled in the air holes of the tellurite PCF. Based on the degenerate four-wave mixing theory, temperature sensing in the mid-infrared region (MIR) can be achieved by detecting the wavelength shift of signal waves and idler waves during variations in temperature. Simulation results show that at a pump wavelength of 3550 nm, the temperature sensitivity of this proposed sensor can be as high as 0.70 nm/°C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to propose temperature sensing in the MIR by drawing on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a non-silica PCF.

Coupled external cavity photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence.

Project description:We report a fundamentally new approach to enhance fluorescence in which surface adsorbed fluorophore-tagged biomolecules are excited on a photonic crystal surface that functions as a narrow bandwidth and tunable mirror of an external cavity laser. This scheme leads to ?10× increase in the electromagnetic enhancement factor compared to ordinary photonic crystal enhanced fluorescence. In our experiments, the cavity automatically tunes its lasing wavelength to the resonance wavelength of the photonic crystal, ensuring optimal on-resonance coupling even in the presence of variable device parameters and variations in the density of surface-adsorbed capture molecules. We achieve ?10(5) × improvement in the limit of detection of a fluorophore-tagged protein compared to its detection on an unpatterned glass substrate. The enhanced fluorescence signal and easy optical alignment make cavity-coupled photonic crystals a viable approach for further reducing detection limits of optically-excited light emitters that are used in biological assays.

Multi-Addressed Fiber Bragg Structures for Microwave-Photonic Sensor Systems.

Project description:The new theory and technique of Multi-Addressed Fiber Bragg Structure (MAFBS) usage in Microwave Photonics Sensor Systems (MPSS) is presented. This theory is the logical evolution of the theory of Addressed Fiber Bragg Structure (AFBS) usage as sensors in MPSS. The mathematical model of additive response from a single MAFBS is presented. The MAFBS is a special type of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), the reflection spectrum of which has three (or more) narrow notches. The frequencies of narrow notches are located in the infrared range of electromagnetic spectrum, while differences between them are located in the microwave frequency range. All cross-differences between optical frequencies of single MAFBS are called the address frequencies set. When the additive optical response from a single MAFBS, passed through an optic filter with an oblique amplitude-frequency characteristic, is received on a photodetector, the complex electrical signal, which consists of all cross-frequency beatings of all optical frequencies, which are included in this optical signal, is taken at its output. This complex electrical signal at the photodetector's output contains enough information to determine the central frequency shift of the MAFBS. The method of address frequencies analysis with the microwave-photonic measuring conversion method, which allows us to define the central frequency shift of a single MAFBS, is discussed in the work.

2D Photonic Crystal Hydrogel Sensor for Tear Glucose Monitoring.

Project description:Photonic crystal (PC) materials have huge potentials as sensors for noninvasive and real-time monitoring glucose in tears. We developed a glucose-sensitive PC material based on monolayered colloidal crystals (MCCs). Polystyrene nanoparticles were first self-assembled into a highly ordered MCC, and this two-dimensional (2D) template was then coated by a 4-boronobenzaldehyde-functionalized poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel. Such a sensor efficiently diffracts visible light, whose structural color could change from red through yellow to green, as the glucose concentration altered from 0 to 20 mM, covering both tears' and bloods' physiological ranges. The sensor also represents a rapid response within 180 s at each titration of glucose, combining the characteristics of high accuracy and sensitivity in detecting the glucose concentration in tears, and this intelligent sensing material presents certain possibility for the frontier point-of-care glucose monitoring.

Hybrid polymer photonic crystal fiber with integrated chalcogenide glass nanofilms.

Project description:The combination of chalcogenide glasses with polymer photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) is a difficult and challenging task due to their different thermo-mechanical material properties. Here we report the first experimental realization of a hybrid polymer-chalcogenide PCF with integrated As2S3 glass nanofilms at the inner surface of the air-channels of a poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) PCF. The integrated high refractive index glass films introduce distinct antiresonant transmission bands in the 480-900 nm wavelength region. We demonstrate that the ultra-high Kerr nonlinearity of the chalcogenide glass makes the polymer PCF nonlinear and provides a possibility to shift the transmission band edges as much as 17 nm by changing the intensity. The proposed fabrication technique constitutes a new highway towards all-fiber nonlinear tunable devices based on polymer PCFs, which at the moment is not possible with any other fabrication method.
