    Liquid refractometric sensors based on optical fiber resonators
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Jonas, Alexandr; Çiçek, Kenan; N/A; N/A; N/A; Department of Physics; Eryürek, Mustafa; Ghafoor, Moeen; Bavili, Nima; Kiraz, Alper; PhD Student; Researcher; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; N/A; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Sciences; N/A; N/A; N/A; 22542
    A robust, easy-to-fabricate, and sensitive liquid refractometric sensor utilizing optical fiber resonators (OFRs) obtained by simple stripping and cleaning of conventional optical fibers is presented. The sensing scheme is based on recording the spectral changes of the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) observed in the transmission spectrum of an OFR excited with a tunable laser coupled to the OFR through an independent tapered optical fiber. The demonstrated sensor device is tested and fully characterized with water solutions of ethanol and ethylene glycol (EG). Good agreements are obtained with theoretical predictions for both ethanol and EG cases when TE and TM polarized WGMs are considered. The limit of detection of the demonstrated sensor is determined to be between 2.7 and 4.7 x 10(-5) refractive index unit (RIU) comparable to the state-of-the-art when precise temperature control of the sample chamber is missing.

    Optical sensors of bulk refractive index using optical fiber resonators
    (Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2017) Baldini, Francesco; Bavili, N.; Çiçek, K.; Homola, Jiri; Lieberman, Robert A.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Department of Physics; Eryürek, Mustafa; Ghafoor, Moeen; Karadağ, Yasin; Kiraz, Alper; PhD Student; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; Department of Physics; College of Engineering; College of Sciences; N/A; N/A; N/A; 22542
    Optical fiber resonator (OFR) sensor is presented for bulk liquid refractive index (RI) sensing. The sensing mechanism relies on the spectral shifts of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of OFRs which are excited using a tapered fiber. OFR liquid RI sensor is fully characterized using water solutions of ethanol and ethylene glycol (EG). A good agreement is achieved between the analytical calculations and experimental results for both TE and TM polarizations. The detection limit for bulk RI is calculated to be between 2.7 - 4.7 x 10(-5) refractive index unit (RIU). The OFR sensor provides a robust, easy-to-fabricate and sensitive liquid refractive index sensor which can be employed in lab-on-a-chip applications.
