A novel sensitized U-shaped fiber-optic sensor based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) principle was proposed to detect virus RNA, especially COVID-19 RNA sequences. To accomplish ultrahigh sensitivity for detecting COVID-19 RNA sequences, a novel porous gold nanocube particle was proposed for the first time to sensitize a U-shaped fiber made of multimode fiber (MMF)-no-corefiber (...Show More
A simple anisotropic structure made by carbon fiber laminated composite for fabricating a high pressure sensor is reported. A pressure sensor with good sensitivity over a broad measurement range is fabricated by using fiber Bragg grating and the anisotropic carbon fiber laminated composite structure. The characteristic responses of pressure and temperature of the new pressure sensor are analyzed. ...Show More
