A bare optical fiber-based biosensor is proposed for measuring the refractive index of different liquids and the binding kinetics of biomolecules to the sensor surface. This optical fiber sensor is based on the Kretschmann’s configuration to attain total internal reflection (TIR) for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation. One end of the bare optical fiber is coated with a gold film. By guiding the light source from the other end into the optical fiber, the light is reflected from the gold-deposited end and the surface evanescent wave is excited in the gold film-transparent material interface. Methanol and ethanol solutions with different refractive indices are used for measuring the corresponding changes in the peak values of the spectra and calculating the corresponding sensitivities. These values are experimentally determined to be in the order of 10−4~10−5 refractive index unit (RIU). Binding of proteins onto the sensor surface is also monitored in real time to obtain the binding kinetics. We believe that, in the future, this optical fiber sensor can serve as a useful biosensor for in situ measurement of allergens, antibody–antigen interactions, and even circulating tumor cells in the blood.

AbstractThe dew point temperature (DPT) is defined as the temperature at which condensation will form from a gas containing moisture. The DPT, which is a measure of the water vapor reactivity, depends on the relative humidity (RH) and the temperature of the gas. The strength of optical fiber has been shown to have a dependence on the humidity and the temperature of the test environment. The results of one study imply that the strength over a range of temperature and humidity can be expressed as a function of the DPT only. While attractive for its simplicity, this idea suggests that the strength depends only on the thermodynamics of the equilibrium between the vapor and condensed phases of water and does not depend on the kinetics of the reaction between water and silica. In the work described here, the strength has been measured at various humidities and temperatures in order to test the dependence on dew point temperature. It was found that the strength degradation is not solely described by the DPT. The strength and dynamic fatigue data were also interpreted by a stress assisted chemical kinetics model. The degradation reaction order with respect to humidity at different air temperatures was found to be approximately two.

The dynamical processes responsible for laser emission in the pulsed pumping of a transversely excited atmospheric (TEA) CO2 laser are investigated. An explanation for the formation of the giant pulse is proposed on the basis of a gain-switching mechanism in which it is assumed that with short strong-current pulses a high population inversion can be achieved prior to the onset of laser action. The kinetics of the mechanism are described by means of a set of nonlinear rate equations idealized to a four-energy-state system. With suitable initial conditions on the populations, the transient solution of these equations for the mixtures CO2–He and CO–N2–He appears to be consistent with the major features of experimental observation.
