Abstract

In the present investigation a new intensity-based sensor platform for refractive index sensing is presented. It is based on a special holder, a slab waveguide and two Plastic optical fibers (POFs). In particular, we present a comparison between two different configurations: the slab waveguide with and without a buffer layer. Advantages of this new approach are the possibility of sensing with a removable chip, the easy production of an engineered platform and the use of a special holder, which is also suitable for thermo-stabilized flow cells implementation.
