In Situ Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles in Layer-by-Layer Polymeric Coatings for the Fabrication of Optical Fiber Sensors

A new method is proposed to tune the interferometric response of wavelength-based optical fiber sensors. Using the nanoparticle in situ synthesis (ISS) technique, it is possible to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within a pre-existing polymeric thin film deposited at the end-face of an optical...
