Optical Fibre Sensors This research theme is devoted to the creation and fabrication of chemical sensors based on a range of sensing platforms modified with advanced functional nano-materials for applications in fields ranging from healthcare [1] and environmental monitoring [2] to food and beverage quality assessment [3]. Group is working on the development of the optical fibre sensors based on the long period gratings (LPGs) [4-10], fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) [11], tapered optical fibres [12], evanescent wave spectroscopy [13] and refection optrodes [1] The principle of operation of the optical fibre sensors based on various platforms is explained in Figure 1.
Fibre optic grating based sensors, Fibre Bragg Gratings, (FBGs), and long period gratings, LPGs have been extensively investigated for the measurement of physical and chemical parameters. An FBG consists of a periodic modulation of the refractive index of the core of the optical fibre with a period of the order of the wavelength of light and acts to reflect light of a specific wavelength (equal to twice the optical period of the grating) back along the fibre, Figure 2. The lengths of the FBG can vary from 0.5 mm to 20 mm
