    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and optical sensing technologies.
    • Biomedical engineering and diagnostics.

    Background:

    • Evanescent-wave (EW) based sensors are crucial for high-sensitivity detection.
    • Current EW sensor enhancement focuses on architecture, often neglecting the excitation light source's impact.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of light source characteristics on EW sensor performance.
    • To introduce and validate a novel light diffuser for improved EW-based sensing.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical examination of meridian, skew, and tunneling rays under total internal reflection (TIR).
    • Investigation of light source intensity profiles and their effect on EW power.
    • Proposal and experimental verification of a non-Lambertian fiber-optic side-emitting diffuser (FOSED).

    Main Results:

    • Light source intensity profile significantly impacts EW power and fluorescent emission.
    • The proposed FOSED dramatically improves signal quality and reduces stray excitation light.
    • FOSED ensures more efficient excitation power usage, lowering demands on the light source and detector.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing the light source, specifically its intensity profile, is key to enhancing EW sensor performance.
    • The FOSED offers a cost-effective method for improving EW-based sensor systems.
    • This approach presents a superior alternative to existing methods like long period grating (LPG) sensors.
