Fiber optic sensing is efficient biotechnology tool
Jun 1, 2006 — Optical fibers enable not only the use of optical spectroscopy where conventional spectroscopy cannot be performed, but also less common methods of interrogation, such as evanescent wave spectroscopy. The use of fibers in evanescent wave excitation, imaging and sensor arrays, in distributed sensing, and in microsensors and nanosensors is important in analytical schemes. Fiber optic sensing is applied to many fields, including medical, chemical and environmental analysis, and molecular...
