Abstract
This review takes stock of the various optical fiber-based biosensors that could be used for in vivo applications. We discuss the characteristics that biosensors must have to be suitable for such applications and the corresponding transduction modes. In particular, we focus on optical fiber biosensors based on fluorescence, evanescent wave, plasmonics, interferometry, and Raman phenomenon. The operational principles, implemented solutions, and performances are described and debated. The different sensing configurations, such as the side- and tip-based fiber biosensors, are illustrated, and their adaptation for in vivo measurements is discussed. The required implementation of multiplexed biosensing on optical fibers is shown. In particular, the use of multi-fiber assemblies, one of the most optimal configurations for multiplexed detection, is discussed. Different possibilities for multiple localized functionalizations on optical fibers are presented. A final section is devoted to the practical in vivo use of fiber-based biosensors, covering regulatory, sterilization, and packaging aspects. Finally, the trends and required improvements in this promising and emerging field are analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
The intelligence of modern technologies relies on perceptual systems based on microscale sensors. However, because of the traditional top-down fabrication approaches performed on planar silicon wafers, a large proportion of existing microscale sensors have 2D structures, which severely restricts their sensing capabilities. To overcome these restrictions, over the past few decades, increasing efforts have been devoted to developing new fabrication methods for microscale sensors with 3D engineered structures, from bulk chemical etching and 3D printing to molding and stress-induced assembly. Herein, the authors systematically review these fabrication methods based on the applications of the resulting 3D sensors and discuss their advantages compared to their 2D counterparts. This is followed by a perspective on the remaining challenges and possible opportunities.

Abstract
The extraordinary sensitivity of plasmonic sensors is well-known in the optics and photonics community. These sensors exploit simultaneously the enhancement and the localization of electromagnetic fields close to the interface between a metal and a dielectric. This enables, for example, the design of integrated biochemical sensors at scales far below the diffraction limit. Despite their practical realization and successful commercialization, the sensitivity and associated precision of plasmonic sensors are starting to reach their fundamental classical limit given by quantum fluctuations of light-known as the shot-noise limit. To improve the sensing performance of these sensors beyond the classical limit, quantum resources are increasingly being employed. This area of research has become known as "quantum plasmonic sensing", and it has experienced substantial activity in recent years for applications in chemical and biological sensing. This review aims to cover both plasmonic and quantum techniques for sensing, and it shows how they have been merged to enhance the performance of plasmonic sensors beyond traditional methods. We discuss the general framework developed for quantum plasmonic sensing in recent years, covering the basic theory behind the advancements made, and describe the important works that made these advancements. We also describe several key works in detail, highlighting their motivation, the working principles behind them, and their future impact. The intention of the review is to set a foundation for a burgeoning field of research that is currently being explored out of intellectual curiosity and for a wide range of practical applications in biochemistry, medicine, and pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
Improving the sensitivity of plasmonic optical fiber sensors constitutes a major challenge as it could significantly enhance their sensing capabilities for the label-free detection of biomolecular interactions or chemical compounds. While many efforts focus on developing more sensitive structures, we present here how the sensitivity of a sensor can be significantly enhanced by improving the light analysis. Contrary to the common approach where the global intensity of the light coming from the core is averaged, our approach is based on the full analysis of the retro-reflected intensity distribution that evolves with the refractive index of the medium being analyzed. Thanks to this original and simple approach, the refractive index sensitivity of a plasmonic optical fiber sensor used in reflection mode was enhanced by a factor of 25 compared to the standard method. The reported approach opens exciting perspectives for improving the remote detection as well as for developing new sensing strategies.

Abstract
Fluorescence detection is a well-established readout method for sensing, especially for in-vitro diagnostics (IVD). A practical way to guide the emitted signal to a detector is by means of an optical fiber. However, coupling fluorescence into a fiber is challenging and commonly lacks single-molecule sensitivity. In this work, we investigate specific fiber geometries, materials and coatings that in combination with a planar Yagi-Uda antenna reach efficient excitation and collection. The simulation of a practical setting determines more than 70% coupling efficiency for a horizontally oriented dipole, with respect to the planar antenna, emitting at 700 nm and embedded in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Moreover, the coupling efficiency would only scale by a factor of 2/3 for emitters with random orientation, as a result of the antenna geometry. These findings are relevant for single-molecule detection with fiber optics and have implications for other applications involving the coupling of light with nano-scale sources and detectors. Scanning the surface of a sample with such fibers could also be advantageous for imaging techniques to provide a low background noise and a high resolution.

Abstract
A simple hetero-core optical fiber (MMF-NCF-MMF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing structure was proposed. The SPR spectral sensitivity, full width of half peak (FWHM), valley depth (VD), and figure of merit (FOM) were defined to evaluate the sensing performance comprehensively. The effect of gold film thickness on the refractive index and temperature sensing performance was studied experimentally. The optimum gold film thickness was found. The maximum sensitivities for refractive index and temperature measurement were obtained to be 2933.25 nm/RIU and −0.91973 nm/°C, respectively. The experimental results are helpful to design the SPR structure with improved sensing performance. The proposed SPR sensing structure has the advantages of simple structure, easy implementation, and good robustness, which implies a broad application prospect.

Abstract
Remote detection by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is demonstrated through microstructured optical arrays of conical nanotips or micropillars. Both geometries were fabricated by controlled wet chemical etching of bundles comprising several thousands of individual optical fibers. Their surface was coated by a thin gold layer in order to confer SPR properties. The sensitivity and resolution of both shapes were evaluated as a function of global optical index changes in remote detection mode performed by imaging through the etched optical fiber bundle itself. With optimized geometry of micropillar arrays, resolution was increased up to 10-4 refractive index units. The gold-coated micropillar arrays were functionalized with DNA and were able to monitor remotely the kinetics of DNA hybridization with complementary strands. We demonstrate for the first time highly parallel remote SPR detection of DNA via microstructured optical arrays. The obtained SPR sensitivity combined with the remote intrinsic properties of the optical fiber bundles should find promising applications in biosensing, remote SPR imaging, a lab-on-fiber platform dedicated to biomolecular analysis, and in vivo endoscopic diagnosis. Graphical abstract We present a single fabrication step to structure simultaneously all the individual cores of an optical fiber bundle composed of thousands of fibers. The resulting sensor is optimized for reflection mode (compatible with in vivo applications) and is used to perform for the first time highly parallel remote SPR detection of DNA via several thousands of individual optical fiber SPR sensors paving the way for multiplexed biological detection.

Abstract
A vast majority of existing sub-millimeter-scale sensors have a planar, 2D geometry as a result of conventional top-down lithographic procedures. However, 2D sensors often suffer from restricted sensing capability, allowing only partial measurements of 3D quantities. Here, nano/microscale sensors with different geometric (1D, 2D, and 3D) configurations are reviewed to introduce their advantages and limitations when sensing changes in quantities in 3D space. This Review categorizes sensors based on their geometric configuration and sensing capabilities. Among the sensors reviewed here, the 3D configuration sensors defined on polyhedral structures are especially advantageous when sensing spatially distributed 3D quantities. The nano- and microscale vertex configuration forming polyhedral structures enable full 3D spatial sensing due to orthogonally aligned sensing elements. Particularly, the cubic configuration leveraged in 3D sensors offers an array of diverse applications in the field of biosensing for micro-organisms and proteins, optical metamaterials for invisibility cloaking, 3D imaging, and low-power remote sensing of position and angular momentum for use in microbots. Here, various 3D sensors are compared to assess the advantages of their geometry and its impact on sensing mechanisms. 3D biosensors in nature are also explored to provide vital clues for the development of novel 3D sensors.

Abstract
Here, we have numerically calculated electric field intensity and phase of the emission from various hybrid spiral plasmonic lenses (HSPL) in near field as well as in far-field. We have proposed a novel HSPL inscribed with nano corrals slit (NCS) and compared its focusing ability with other HSPLs inscribed with circular slit and circular grating. With the use of nano corrals slit, we have been able to improve light intensity in the far-field without compromising near-field intensity. Our NCS-HSPL outperforms other HSPLs and standalone SPL in near-field as well as far-field. We have also found that proposed circular slit diffractor is far more superior than previously reported circular grating diffractor. We have been able to extend the focal length of hybrid plasmonic lens upto 3 um and observed a two-fold increment in the far field intensity compared to existing spiral plasmonic lens even though size of focal spot remains same. Optical complex fields produced by NCS based HSPL can be used for various applications such as super resolution microscopy, nanolithography, bioimaging and sensing, angular momentum detectors, etc. Moreover, enhanced near-field intensity in conjunction with far-field superfocusing with reasonable focal length may lead to the development of novel multifunctional lab-on-chip devices.

Abstract
Hybrids of DNA and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising nanobioconjugates for nanobiosensors, carriers for drug delivery, and other biological applications. In this review, nanoscopic characterization of DNA-CNT hybrids, in particular, characterization by scanning probe microscopy (SPM), is summarized. In many studies, topographical imaging by atomic force microscopy has been performed. However, some researchers have demonstrated advanced SPM operations in order to maximize its unique and valuable functions. Such sophisticated approaches are attractive and will have a significant impact on future studies of DNA-CNT hybrids.

Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-sensing approach by using the fundamental mode beam based on a twin-core fiber (TCF). Although normally in a fiber SPR sensor, a multimode fiber (MMF) has often been used to improve the coupling efficiency; for improving fiber SPR sensor sensitivity, single-mode beam is optimal. We provide a novel method to employ the single (fundamental)-mode beam to SPR sense based on the TCF. We grind the TCF tip to be a frustum wedge shape, and plate a 50-nm sensing gold film on the end face, and two 500-nm reflected gold films on the side faces of the wedge tip. By using this new configuration, we reduce the mode noise effectively and get a high testing sensitivity (the testing highest sensitivity reaches to 6463 nm/RIU). This SPR probe can be applied in a microfluidic chip and monitors the refractive index (RI) charges of the flow liquid in the microfluidic channel in real-time. The probe successfully monitors the refractive index of liquid ranged from 1.3333 to 1.3706, and the average sensitivity reaches to 5213 nm/RIU in the solution, which is much higher than most multimode SPR systems.

Abstract
We present a simple surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) sensing system based on some common optoelectronic devices in this paper. Using an optical fiber based SPR sensor as sensing element in our system, the SPRi system is dramatically compact. A small universal LED is used as the light source. The light intensity is record as images that can be captured by a simple web camera. A Microsoft Visual C++6.0 based Windows software program is written to process the image data which contain SPRi information. Experimental results show that the relationship between the relative intensity and RI is a linear relation in a RI range from 1.3396 to 1.3645. Using this SPRi device, we measure the specific binding between the Con A and RNase B, which demonstrates its capability for biomedical selective affinity monitoring. The proposed SPRi sensing system also has the capacity for biochemical multiple channel measurement with further investigation.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of the key aspects of designing ionophore-based optical sensors (IBOS). Exact response functions are developed and compared with a simplified, generalized equation. We also provide a brief introduction into less established but promising working principles, namely dynamic response and exhaustive exchange. Absorbance and fluorescence are the main optical readout strategies used in the evaluation of a sensor response, but they usually require a robust referencing technique for real-world applications. Established referencing schemes using IBOS as well as those from other optical sensors are also discussed. Finally, the power of recently developed photoresponsive ion extraction/release systems is outlined and discussed in view of dynamically switchable IBOS or regenerative exhaustive exchange IBOS.

Abstract
Electrochemical and optical biosensors exist to monitor different fluids containing analytes of interest. Until today, these have been developed separately. Owing to the creation of new transducer configurations such as indium tin-coated glass fiber optics, these methods can now be used separately, in parallel and it is hoped that one day they will be able to be used simultaneously; thus, using the same probe to measure a single analyte using two different methods (electrochemical and optical) or two different analytes with either of the aforementioned methods sitting on the same probe. This article will highlight the importance, as well as the usefulness, of combining measurement methodologies in improving sensor response and sensitivity.

Abstract
The use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors is increasingly popular in fundamental biological studies, health science research, drug discovery, clinical diagnosis, and environmental and agricultural monitoring. SPR allows for the qualitative and quantitative measurements of biomolecular interactions in real-time without requiring a labeling procedure. Today, the development of SPR is geared toward the design of compact, low-cost, and sensitive biosensors. Rapid advances in micro-fabrication technology have made available integratable opto-electronic components suitable for SPR. This review paper focuses on the progress made over the past 4 years toward this integration. Readers will find the descriptions of novel SPR optical approaches and materials. Nano-technology is also increasingly used in the design of biologically optimized and optically enhanced surfaces for SPR. Much of this work is leading to the integration of sensitive SPR to lab-on-a-chip platforms.

Abstract
Microscale fiber tip sensors based on the plasmon resonance are reported. The fabrication process derived from our previous approach for manufacturing near-field scanning optical microscopy probes has been optimized for sensing applications. A typical tip sensor is a tapered fiber 400 microm in length, coated with a nanoporous thin silver film. The miniaturized geometry of the sensor allows detection in a single droplet of liquid solution (approximately 20 microl). The tip sensor is sensitive for refractive indices between 1.33 and 1.40 with a sensitivity of at least 3 x 10(-4) refractive index unit (RIU)/nm. The Raman scattering enhancement through these microsensors demonstrates the important role played by the localized plasmon resonance. The sensors' linear response covers a large region, interesting for biosensing in aqueous environments such as biomedical applications.

Abstract
A PDMS-based microfluidic device with integrated optical fibres was developed for online monitoring of lactate. The detection is based on the optical adsorption of the colour solution formed by in-channel mixing of sample and reagent solutions. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation and kinetic study of the colour development were conducted to determine the minimum channel length and optimum residential time for homogenous mixing and maximum optical adsorption respectively. The system was proved to be able to detect lactate with good linearity (R(2)=0.98), response time of about 130 s and estimated limitation of detection (LOD) of 0.52 mM (about 47 mg/L), which is sufficient for a general online lactate detection. Due to the miniaturization of sensing system and micro-scale mixing, higher detection sensitivity (0.15 V/mM) can be realized than the mixing in lab-scale equipments (0.08 V/mM).

Abstract
The direction of modern analytical techniques is to push for lower detection limits, improved selectivity and sensitivity, faster analysis time, higher throughput, and more inexpensive analysis systems with ever-decreasing sample volumes. These very ambitious goals are exacerbated by the need to reduce the overall size of the device and the instrumentation - the quest for functional micrototal analysis systems epitomizes this. Microfluidic devices fabricated in glass, and more recently, in a variety of polymers, brings us a step closer to being able to achieve these stringent goals and to realize the economical fabrication of sophisticated instrumentation. However, this places a significant burden on the detection systems associated with microchip-based analysis systems. There is a need for a universal detector that can efficiently detect sample analytes in real time and with minimal sample manipulation steps, such as lengthy labeling protocols. This review highlights the advances in uncommon or less frequently used detection methods associated with microfluidic devices. As a result, the three most common methods - LIF, electrochemical, and mass spectrometric techniques - are omitted in order to focus on the more esoteric detection methods reported in the literature over the last 2 years.

Abstract
A microfluidic device with integrated optical fibres was developed for online monitoring of lactate. The device consists of a SU-8 waveguide, microfluidic channels and grooves for the insertion of optic fibres. It was fabricated by one-step photolithography of SU-8 polymer resist. Different channel widths (50-300 microm) were tested in terms of detection sensitivity. A wide range of flow rates were applied to investigate the influence of flow rate on signal fluctuations. The separation between optical fibre sensor and microfluidic channel and the width of fluidic channel have been optimized to maximize the detection sensitivity. It was revealed that 250 microm of channel width is the optimum light path length for a compromise between detection sensitivity and interference of ambient light. The independence of detection signals on flow rates was demonstrated within the range of flow rate (0.5-5 ml/hr) tested. Compared with conventional lactate detection, the device is proved to have high accuracy, relatively low limit of detection (50 mg/L) and reasonably fast response time (100 sec). The fabrication of device is simple and low cost. The present work has provided some fundamental data for further system optimization to meet specific detection requirements.
