The use of optical fibers has evolved from an optical transmission waveguide to a more intricated device for bio-chemical sensing. The possibility of measuring target substances with rapid and low-cost tools is still a main challenge in different application fields, from environmental monitoring to the medical-diagnostic sector. In recent decades, plasmonic fiber-optic sensors have gained great interest due to their excellent sensitivity and compactness, allowing the possibility of remote sensing for different target analytes that is real-time and label-free. Such sensors have constantly evolved over time. In this work, a short overview on plasmonic optical fiber sensors is presented, including illustrations that focus on the applications and achievements so far.

Abstract
The use of optical fibers has evolved from an optical transmission waveguide to a more intricated device for bio-chemical sensing. The possibility of measuring target substances with rapid and low-cost tools is still a main challenge in different application fields, from environmental monitoring to the medical-diagnostic sector. In recent decades, plasmonic fiber-optic sensors have gained great interest due to their excellent sensitivity and compactness, allowing the possibility of remote sensing for different target analytes that is real-time and label-free. Such sensors have constantly evolved over time. In this work, a short overview on plasmonic optical fiber sensors is presented, including illustrations that focus on the applications and achievements so far.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
