Refractive Index Measurement of Lithium Ion Battery Electrolyte with Etched Surface Cladding Waveguide Bragg Gratings and Cell Electrode State Monitoring by Optical Strain Sensors
摘要： In this scientific publication, a new sensor approach for status monitoring, such as state of charge and state of health, of lithium ion batteries by using special Bragg gratings inscribed into standard optical glass fibers is presented. In addition to well-known core gratings, embedded into the anode of 5 Ah lithium ion pouch cells as a strain monitoring unit, the manufacturing of a surface cladding waveguide Bragg grating sensor incorporated into the cell’s separator, that is sensitive to changes of the refractive index of the surrounding medium, is demonstrated. On the basis of the experiments carried out, characteristics of the cell behavior during standard cyclization and recognizable marks in subsequent post-mortem analyses of the cell components are shown. No negative influence on the cell performance due to the integrated sensors have been observed; however, the results show a clear correlation between fading cell capacity and changes of the interior optical signals. Additionally, with the novel photonic sensor, variations in the electrolyte characteristics are determinable as the refractive index of the solution changes at different molar compositions. Furthermore, with the manufactured battery cells, abuse tests by overcharging were conducted, and it was thereby demonstrated how internal battery sensors can derive additional information beyond conventional battery management systems to feasibly prevent catastrophic cell failures. The result of the research work is an early stage photonic sensor that combines chemical, mechanical and thermal information from inside the cell for an enhanced battery status analysis.

H2 Gas Sensor Based on Pd/ZnO Nanostructures Deposited on Tapered Optical Fiber
摘要： A novel H2 sensor using tapered optical fiber coated with Pd/ZnO nanostructures have been developed. The ZnO nanostructures was synthesized and deposited onto tapered optical fiber via chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The ZnO was characterized by FESEM, XRD and EDX to confirm the material properties. It was discovered that the sensor is sensitive towards different concentrations of H2 in synthetic air at 180oC of operating temperature. By varying the deposition time of ZnO coating, different thickness of ZnO layer can be obtained. It was observed that with 280 nm thickness, the maximum absorbance response can be achieved. Further investigation with sensor sample of as-prepared and annealed was carried out to study its sensing performance towards H2. The absorbance response of 280 nm thickness of annealed Pd/ZnO has increased 64% as compared to as-prepared Pd/ZnO upon 1% H2 exposure in the synthetic air when measured in the visible to near infra-red optical wavelength. It can be concluded that the Pd/ZnO optical fiber sensor with thickness around 280 nm provided better sensitivity in sensing H2 at 180oC as compared to other thicknesses investigated.

Microwave Photonic Signal Processing and Sensing Based on Optical Filtering
摘要： Microwave photonics, based on optical filtering techniques, are attractive for wideband signal processing and high-performance sensing applications, since it brings significant benefits to the fields by overcoming inherent limitations in electronic approaches and by providing immunity to electromagnetic interference. Recent developments in optical filtering based microwave photonics techniques are presented in this paper. We present single sideband modulation schemes to eliminate dispersion induced power fading in microwave optical links and to provide high-resolution spectral characterization functions, single passband microwave photonic filters to address the challenges of eliminating the spectral periodicity in microwave photonic signal processors, and review the approaches for high-performance sensing through implementing microwave photonics filters or optoelectronic oscillators to enhance measurement resolution.

Caracterización Espectral y Detección de Flecha Seca en Palma Africana en Puntarenas, Costa Rica
摘要： During the last decades, precision agriculture has observed significant technical progress that has permitted better management of farming, optimizing resources and applied inputs. Within the scope of geomatics, land optical sensors have allowed to expand and increase knowledge on the spectral behavior of the crops under study, providing increased benefits in the application of treatments and pest or disease prevention. The objective of this work was to characterize the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), by means of field radiometry-spectrum, in healthy plants, as well as in plants affected by bud rot. The study was conducted between March and May 2016 in African oil palm farms in Parrita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. A hyperspectral land sensor, with a 325-1075 nm wavelength range (visible and near-infrared spectrum), was used. In general, plants in healthy phytosanitary condition, which also had a treatment of “fertilization+irrigation”, presented the highest reflectivity curves: around 0.7%. The bud rot influence in the reflectance curve of the plants had, in most cases, a greater weight than the type of treatment to which they are subjected. It thus confirms the possibility of detecting the bud rot pathology through reflectance spectroscopy in conditions of field work, the main goal of this research.

Aperiodic order induced enhancement of weak nonlocality in multilayered dielectric metamaterials
摘要： Recent studies on fully dielectric multilayered metamaterials have shown that the negligibly small nonlocal effects (spatial dispersion) typically observed in the limit of deeply subwavelength layers may be significantly enhanced by peculiar boundary effects occurring in certain critical parameter regimes. These phenomena, observed so far in periodic and randomly disordered geometries, are manifested as strong differences between the exact optical response of finite-size metamaterial samples and the prediction from conventional effective-theory-medium models based on mixing formulas. Here, with specific focus on the Thue-Morse geometry, we make a first step toward extending the studies above to the middle ground of aperiodically ordered multilayers, lying in between perfect periodicity and disorder. We show that, also for these geometries, there exist critical parameter ranges that favor the buildup of boundary effects leading to strong enhancement of the (otherwise negligibly weak) nonlocality. However, the underlying mechanisms are fundamentally different from those observed in the periodic case and exhibit typical footprints (e.g., fractal gaps, quasilocalized states) that are distinctive of aperiodic order. The outcomes of our study indicate that aperiodic order plays a key role in the buildup of the aforementioned boundary effects and may also find potential applications to optical sensors, absorbers, and lasers.

1-D Metal-Dielectric-Metal Grating Structure as an Ultra-Narrowband Perfect Plasmonic Absorber in the Visible and Its Application in Glucose Detection
摘要： The need for an easy to fabricate perfect and narrowband light absorber in the visible range of electromagnetic (EM) spectrum has always been in demand for many scientific and device applications. Here, we propose a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) 1-D grating plasmonic structure as a perfect narrow band light absorber in the visible and its application in glucose detection. The proposed structure consists of a 1- D grating of gold on the top of a dielectric layer on a gold film. Optimization for dielectric grating index (n), grating thickness (t), grating width (W), and grating period (P) has been done to improve the performance of plasmonic structure by calculating its quality factor and figure-of-merit (FOM). The optimized plasmonic structure behaves as a perfect narrowband light absorber. The flexibility to work at a specific wavelength is also offered by the proposed structure through an appropriate selection of the geometrical parameters and refractive index of the dielectric grating. The equivalent RC model is used to understand different components of the proposed structure on the optical response. The absorption response of the structure is invariant to the incident angle. Moreover, the calculated absorbance of the proposed plasmonic structure is ~ 100% with a narrow full-width half maxima (FWHM) of ~ 2.8 nm. We have numerically demonstrated a potential application of the proposed MDM absorber as a plasmonic glucose sensor in the visible range with detection sensitivity in the range of 140 to 195 nm/RIU.

Experimental results demonstrate that by attaching Concanavalin A to the gold nanothin-film chip of the sensor, a linear response of the change in reflected optical power to the dissolved Xanthan gum concentration is observed, demonstrating the ability of the developed sensor to detect Xanthan gum concentrations up to 0.22 g/L.

Optical sensors based on silver nanoparticles for determination of pharmaceuticals: An overview of advances in the last decade
摘要： This review focuses on optical nanosensors based on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and demonstrates their applications in the determination of pharmaceutical compounds in the last decade. Such optical sensors have received high attention in the analytical field owing to their low cost and simplicity since they do not require any complex or expensive instrumentation. This article reviews Ag NP-based optical methods for the determination of pharmaceutical compounds from 2010 to 2020. The reported optical methods are classified into four types: spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, scattering and chemiluminescence. Ag NPs play different roles in the different sensing platforms used by these methods, the details of which are carefully explained in this review. Moreover, the relevant analytical parameters of the developed methods are categorized by role and tabulated. It is hoped that this review will stimulate further research in this field with similar nanostructures.

Optical particulate matter sensors in PM <sub/>2.5</sub> measurements in atmospheric air
摘要： Monitoring systems are needed to obtain information about particulate matter (PM) concentrations and to make such information accessible to the public. Small, low-cost, optical sensors could be used to improve the spatial and temporal resolution of PM data. The paper presents results of collocated comparison of four low-cost PM sensors and TEOM analyser, conducted from 20-08-2017 to 24-12-2017 in Wroc?aw, Poland. Plantower PMS7003 and Nova Fitness SDS011 sensors proved to be the best in terms of precision and were linearly correlated with TEOM data. Alphasense OPC-N2 sensors exhibited only moderate precision and linearity. Winsen ZH03A sensors had low repeatability between units and only one copy demonstrated good operation possibilities. All tested sensors had a bias in relation to PM2.5 concentrations obtained from TEOM.

Polymer Optical Fibers for Sensing
摘要： Sensing techniques based on optical ?bers are used in numerous key ?elds. For example, optical ?ber sensors are exploited in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, physical parameters detection, industrial applications, food safety, and security. In fact, optical ?ber sensors are used for their numerous capabilities, as for example when in the detection fast, portable, low-cost, small size, and/or rugged sensor systems are needed. In general, the optical ?ber for sensing applications can be a glass one, a specialty one, or a polymer one. Polymer optical ?bers (POFs) are especially advantageous due to their excellent ?exibility, easy manipulation, large diameter, resilience, and the fact that plastic is able to withstand smaller bend radii than glass. These POF sensors, intrinsic and extrinsic, combined with di?erent kinds of receptors can be directly connected to an online platform by interface software, allowing storing, analyzing, and displaying the sensor’s data, to realize low-cost biochemical sensors for several applications. In this work, two plasmonic POF sensors, one intrinsic and another one extrinsic, that can be used in biochemical applications are described.
