Flame spray pyrolysis-induced direct deposition of plasmonic nanoparticles on TFBG optical fiber for sensing applications

The features of optical fibers and the fascinating properties of nanomaterials can be combined to result in an attractive new platform for chemical sensing. Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) has distinct advantages for the assembly of chemoresistive gas sensors compared to their traditional synthesis methods. Modern photonic sensing devices such as tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) optical fibers couple light from the core to multiple cladding modes, each at a different wavelength, thus allowing multiple sensing and light manipulation opportunities. To reach superior performance and results, TFBGs can be combined with flame made nanoparticles obtained from various materials with specific sensitivities to gaseous compounds.
