Experimental development of fabry-perot fiber-optic metal ion sensor based on layer-by-layer (chitosan/polystyrene sulfonate) substrate and ionophore (carboxymethyl 18-crown-6). by Yu, Feng Jen.

“…In this project, development of a novel label-free Fiber-Optic Fabry-Perot interferometry (FPI) metal ion detector based on a successful immunosensor with similar mechanism is proposed. 2 configurations of the sensor were proposed, one with an additional SMF cap and one without. Using the EDC / NHS coupling mechanism, the sensing element (ionophore) was attached to the polyelectrolyte substrate (Chitosan / Polystyrene Sulfonate) formed by performing polymeric layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. …”
