Abstract
Glycerol tributyrate as a low-density lipoprotein plays a crucial role in drug development and food safety. In this work, a novel high-stability fiber optic sensor for glyceryl tributyrate based on the poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and chitosan (CS) composite hydrogel embedding method is first proposed. Compared with traditional functionalization, the lipase in a polymer network structure used in this article can not only avoid chemical reactions that cause damage to the enzyme structure but also avoid the instability of ionic bonds and physical adsorption. Therefore, the PAA/CS hydrogel method proposed in this article can effectively retain enzyme structure. First, the impact of different layers (one to five layers) of PAA/CS on pH sensing performance was explored, and it was determined that layers 1-3 could be used for subsequent sensing experiments. Within the linear detection range of 0.5-10 mM, the detection sensitivities of the one to three layers of the biosensor are divided into 0.65, 0.95, and 1.51 nm/mM, respectively, with the three layers having the best effect. When the number of coating layers is three, the detection limit of the sensor is 0.47 mM, meeting the millimole level detection standard for anticancer requirement. Furthermore, the stability and selectivity of the sensor (in the presence of hemoglobin, urea, cholesterol, acetylcholine, and glucose) were analyzed. The three-layer sensor is used for sample detection. At concentrations of 1-10 mM, the absolute value of the recovery percentage (%) is 82-99%, which can accurately detect samples. The sensor proposed in this paper has the advantages of low sample consumption, high sensitivity, simple structure, and label-free measurement. The enzyme-embedding method provides a new route for rapid and reliable glyceryl tributyrate detection, which has potential applications in food safety as well as the development of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
In this paper, we design an in-fiber two-parameter sensor with multimode fiber (MMF)-Au film coated hollow fiber (HCF)-MMF structure, which can simultaneously excite Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) effect and Multimode Interference (MMI) effect. A composite material of Au nanoparticles/β-cyclodextrin (AuNPs/β-CD) is deposited on the surface of the Au film coated HCF to realize highly-sensitive measurement of cholesterol concentration. Here, the AuNPs can not only enhance the measurement sensitivity of the SPR sensor, but also increase the numbers of combination sites of β-CD and cholesterol. Then, to solve the cross-sensitivity problem between temperature and cholesterol, the glycerin is selected as a temperature-sensitive material to fill into the inner channel of the HCF, making the MMI sensor sensitive to temperature, and finally realizing the simultaneous measurement of cholesterol concentration and temperature. The experimental results demonstrate that the wavelength shift of the SPR and the MMI are 12.7 nm and 7.9 nm, respectively, when the cholesterol concentration changes from 0 to 500 nM. The temperature sensitivity of the SPR and the MMI are -0.9 nm/°C and 2.64 nm/°C, respectively, in the temperature range of 30°C-46 °C. In addition, the sensor shows good recognition ability of cholesterol molecules in serum environment, with good stability, selectivity and repeatability, and has broad application prospects in the biomedical field.

Abstract
We demonstrated a temperature-compensated optofluidic DNA biosensor available for microfluidic chip. The optofluidic sensor was composed of an interferometer and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) by femtosecond laser direct writing micro/nano processing technology. The sensing arm of the interferometer was suspended on the inner wall of the microchannel and could directly interact with the microfluid. With the immobilization of the single stranded probe DNA (pDNA), this optofluidic biosensor could achieve specific detection of single stranded complementary DNA (scDNA). The experimental results indicated that a linear response within 50 nM and the detection limit of 1.87 nM were achieved. In addition, the optofluidic biosensor could simultaneously monitor temperature to avoid temperature fluctuations interfering with the DNA hybridization detection process. And, the optofluidic detection channel could achieve fast sample replacement within 10 s at a flow rate of 2 μL/min and sample consumption only required nanoliters. This optofluidic DNA biosensor had the advantages of label-free, good specificity, dual parameter detection, low sample consumption, fast response, and easy repeatable preparation, which was of great significance for the field of DNA hybridization research and solving the temperature sensitivity problem of biosensors and had good prospects in biological analysis.

Abstract
An advanced multi-parameter optical fiber sensing technology for EGFR gene detection based on DNA hybridization technology is demonstrated in this paper. For traditional DNA hybridization detection methods, temperature and pH compensation can not be realized or need multiple sensor probes. However, the multi-parameter detection technology we proposed can simultaneously detect complementary DNA, temperature and pH based on a single optical fiber probe. In this scheme, three optical signals including dual surface plasmon resonance signal (SPR) and Mach-Zehnder interference signal (MZI) are excited by binding the probe DNA sequence and pH-sensitive material with the optical fiber sensor. The paper proposes the first research to achieve simultaneous excitation of dual SPR signal and Mach-Zehnder interference signal in a single fiber and used for three-parameter detection. Three optical signals have different sensitivities to the three variables. From a mathematical point of view, the unique solutions of exon-20 concentration, temperature and pH can be obtained by analyzing the three optical signals. The experimental results show that the exon-20 sensitivity of the sensor can reach 0.07 nm nM-1, and the limit of detection is 3.27 nM. The designed sensor gives a fast response, high sensitivity, and low detection limit, which is important for the field of DNA hybridization research and for solving the problems of biosensor susceptibility to temperature and pH.

Therefore, how to eliminate temperature interference in the sensing process has become one of the hot issues of this research field in recent years, and some accomplishments have been achieved. This paper mainly reviews the research results on temperature self-compensating fiber-optic surface plasmon sensors. Firstly, it introduces the mechanism of a temperature self-compensating fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance sensor. Then, the latest development of temperature self-compensated sensor is reviewed from the perspective of various fiber-optic sensing structures. Finally, this paper discusses the most recent applications and development prospects of temperature self-compensated fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance sensors.

Abstract
The need for self-referencing is extremely important in the field of biosensing. In this manuscript, we report on the study, design, and validation of a dual-region self-referencing fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance biosensor. One region is intended to measure and monitor the binding events of the biological sample under test, while the other one is designed to be used as a reference channel to compensate for external factors, such as bulk refractive index modifications and temperature oscillations, that can negatively affect the biomolecular interaction measurement. Two different configurations for the biosensor probe are presented and investigated here, both theoretically and experimentally. First, the theoretical performance of the proposed biosensor probes, in terms of surface plasmon resonance wavelength shift, was simulated using a numerical model. Afterward, they were experimentally validated in sucrose-water solutions and showed a response to refractive index and temperature changes with sensitivities up to 2000 nm/RIU and 1.559 nm/°C, respectively. Finally, an aptamer-based bioassay and a high-resolution melting assay were successfully implemented on the two proposed configurations, demonstrating the feasibility of analyzing the binding events and measuring other external signal modifications simultaneously using the same biosensor probe.

Abstract
A tunable near-infrared surface plasmon resonance sensor based on graphene plasmons via electrostatic gating control is investigated theoretically. Instead of the traditional refractive index sensing, the sensor can respond sensitively to the change of the chemical potential in graphene caused by the attachment of the analyte molecules. This feature can be potentially used for biological sensing with high sensitivity and high specificity. Theoretical calculations show that the chemical potential sensing sensitivities under wavelength interrogation patterns are 1.5, 2.21, 3, 3.79, 4.64 nm meV-1 at different wavebands with centre wavelengths of 1100, 1310, 1550, 1700, 1900 nm respectively, and the full width half maximum (FWHM) is also evaluated to be 10, 25.5, 43, 55.5, 77 nm at these different wavebands respectively. It can be estimated that the theoretical limit of detection (LOD) in DNA sensing of the proposed sensor can reach the femtomolar level, several orders of magnitude superior to that of noble metal-based SPR sensors (nanomolar or subnanomolar scale), and is comparable to that of noble metal-based SPR sensors with graphene/Au-NPs as a sensitivity enhancement strategy. The FWHM is much smaller than that of the noble metal-based SPR sensors, making the proposed sensor have a potentially higher figure of merit (FOM). This work provides a new way of thinking to detect in an SPR manner the analyte that can cause chemical potential change in graphene and provides a beneficial complement to refractive index sensing SPR sensors.
