Refractometric Optical Fiber Platforms for Label Free Sensing

The in situ and real time measurement of a variety of chemical and biological parameters is important in diversified environments ranging from industrial processes, medicine to environmental applications. In this context, the demand for novel sensing platforms capable of multiplexing, real time and remote operation in electromagnetic or chemically hazardous environments has increased significantly in recent years.
