    Area of Science:

    • Optical Physics
    • Microfluidics
    • Biotechnology

    Background:

    • Accurate micro-particle size detection is crucial for various scientific and industrial applications.
    • Existing amplitude-sensing techniques often require high laser power, limiting their utility.
    • Phase-generated carrier (PGC) modulation/demodulation offers a potential alternative for sensitive optical measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a novel optical micro-particle size detection technique based on fiber optic phase sensing.
    • To achieve real-time measurement of micro-particle diameters using phase shift analysis.
    • To compare the performance of phase-sensing with existing amplitude-sensing methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a fiber interferometer with phase-generated carrier (PGC) modulation/demodulation for phase sensing.
    • Resolved particle diameters by analyzing the phase shift induced by particle-optical scattering.
    • Tested polystyrene nanoparticles, air bubbles, and yeast cells in a microfluidic channel.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully resolved particle diameters ranging from 0.7 to 5.5 μm in real-time.
    • Demonstrated the ability to use significantly lower probe laser powers (220 μW) compared to amplitude-sensing techniques (tens of milliwatts).
    • Developed and validated a theoretical model showing good agreement between experimental data and phase shift calculations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed phase-sensing technique offers a sensitive and low-power method for micro-particle size detection.
    • This technique shows promise for applications in clinical diagnostics and industrial contamination control.
    • Real-time analysis of cell samples and processing fluids can be enhanced by this technology.
