Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Stretchable optical fiber sensors (SOFSs) are emerging as key components in advanced sensing applications.
  • Existing SOFSs show promise but require further development for multi-functional wearable health monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an ultra-sensitive, multi-functional SOFS integrated with a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane.
  • To evaluate the sensor's performance for real-time monitoring of physiological parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of an optical micro/nanofiber embedded with a flexible PDMS membrane.
  • Characterization of the sensor's response to strain, temperature, and humidity using evanescent field effects.

Main Results:

  • Achieved ultra-high strain sensitivity with a peak gauge factor of 450.
  • Demonstrated accurate temperature sensing (30–60 °C) with a 0.02 dBm/°C response.
  • Showcased wide-range humidity detection with a peak sensitivity of 0.5 dB/% RH.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SOFS exhibits robust sensing capabilities and flexibility, suitable for wearable applications.
  • The sensor enables real-time monitoring of pulse, body temperature, and respiration.
  • This SOFS holds significant potential for practical wearable healthcare sensor applications.
