Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) fiber probe provides abundant interaction area between light and materials, permits detection within limited space and is especially useful for remote or in situ detection. A silver decorated SERS fiber optic probe was prepared by hydrothermal method. This method manages to accomplish the growth of silver nanoparticles and its adherence on fiber optic tip within one step, simplifying the synthetic procedure. The effects of reaction time on phase composition, surface plasmon resonance property and morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum (UV-VIS absorption spectrum) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that when reaction time is prolonged from 4–8 hours at 180 °C, crystals size and size distribution of silver nanoparticles increase. Furthermore, the morphology, crystal size and distribution density of silver nanoparticles evolve along with reaction time. A growth mechanism based on two factors, equilibrium between nucleation and growth, and the existence of PVP, is hypothesized. The SERS fiber probe can detect rhodamin 6G (R6G) at the concentration of 10−6 M. This SERS fiber probe exhibits promising potential in organic dye and pesticide residue detection.

In this study, optical fiber probes were fabricated by combination of electric arc discharge and chemical etching techniques. Size of tips diameters fabricated using different etching solutions were observed. When the optical fibers were pulled and heated by the electric arc discharge using a fusion splicer, fiber tips with few microns in diameter were obtained. To minimize the tips diameter, the pulled fiber probes were etched vertically for 10 minutes using two different etching solutions namely 49% HF and HF buffer solution (49% HF and 40% NH4F) with ratio of 2:1. A thick overlayer was added on top of the HF solution to prevent dangerous vapors escape to the environment. When the tapered part of the pulled fiber (FP1) was dipped into 49% HF solution, the diameter of tip was slightly decreased from 4.41μm to 1.31μm with etching rate of 5.17x10-3 μms-1. When the pulled fiber (FP2) was etched into HF buffer solution, the etching rate was increased up to 52.35% with the etching rate of 10.85x10-3μms-1. The tip diameter was reduced from 7.01μm to 468.9 nm in diameter. Combination of “heat and pull” technique with chemical etching by using HF buffer solution produced fiber probe with small tip diameter.

By employing a generalization of the conservation law for momentum using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, the feasibility of using a near-field optical fibre probe to create near-field optical trapping is investigated. Numerical results indicate that the scheme is able to trap nanoparticles with diameters of tens of nanometres in a circular shape with lower laser intensity. Using the built system with a tapered metal-coated fibre probe, 120 nm polystyrene particles are trapped in a multi-circular shape with a minimum size of 400 nm. They are at a resolution of λ/7 (λ: laser wavelength) and d (d: tip diameter of fiber probe), respectively.
