In this work, a simple but versatile sensing system for very accurate sensing of liquid level and liquid density is presented. The sensor works based on basic strain sensitivity of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and principle of liquid obeying Archimedes’ law of buoyancy. In this system, a cylindrical shaped mass suspended from a Fiber Bragg Grating and partially immersed in the liquid to be sensed. If the liquid level in the container or liquid density varies, that change the up thrust on the suspended mass and load on the Fiber will be changed accordingly. The change in the load on Fiber changes strain on the FBG and the reflected Bragg wavelength also changes. The proposed device with proper calibration should be able to carry out real time and nonstop liquid level and liquid density measurements. A mathematical analysis of the system considering liquid properties and geometrical structure of the suspended mass is presented here. Sensitivity of the system for liquid level monitoring is also reported. Achieved results shows the path for the utilization of the proposed sensor system for precise liquid density measurement and liquid level sensing in very large storage tanks used for commercial/residential applications.

A biosensor based on an etched Fiber Bragg Grating (EFBG) for thrombin detection is reported. The sensing system is based on a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) with a Bragg wavelength of 1550 nm, wet-etched in hydrofluoric acid (HF) for ~27 min, to achieve sensitivity to a refractive index (RI) of 17.4 nm/RIU (refractive index unit). Subsequently, in order to perform a selective detection of thrombin, the EFBG has been functionalized with silane-coupling agent 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and a cross-linker, glutaraldehyde, for the immobilization of thrombin-binding aptamer. The biosensor has been validated for thrombin detection in concentrations ranging from 10 nM to 80 nM. The proposed sensor presents advantages with respect to other sensor configurations, based on plasmonic resonant tilted FBG or Long Period Grating (LPG), for thrombin detection. Firstly, fabricating an EFBG only requires chemical etching. Moreover, the functionalization method used in this study (silanization) allows the avoidance of complicated and expensive fabrications, such as thin film sputtering or chemical vapor deposition. Due to their characteristics, EFBG sensors are easier to multiplex and can be used in vivo. This opens new possibilities for the detection of thrombin in clinical settings.

A high sensitivity pressure sensing system with a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) using the transverse strain characteristic of a straight bourdon tube (SBT) is presented and demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge. The transverse strain of the SBT makes the FBG tensioned. The pressure can be determined by measuring the shift of the Bragg wavelength. The experimentally obtained results indicate that the shift of the Bragg wavelength changes linearly with the applied pressure and the sensitive coefficients of pressure are approximately 6.22x10-3MPa-1. This represents a sensitivity value approximately 9.66x10-3pm/Pa. The pressure sensing system shows little hysteresis error.

This paper presents early work on Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as temperature sensor to monitor temperature variation inside a packed-bed non-thermal plasma reactor. FBG made from germania-doped fiber with center Bragg wavelength of 1552.5 nm was embedded inside non-thermal plasma reactor with sphere shape dielectric bead (barium titanate) and used to probe the temperature variation inside the reactor. The experimental works have proven that FBG is a suitable sensor to monitor temperature variation inside of reactor via LabVIEW program. Besides that, Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) recorded Bragg wavelength shift as voltage of power supply increases, which indicate the non-uniform temperature variation occurring inside the reactor. However, it does not affect the chemical reaction inside the reactor because the temperature condition is in steady state.
