“…The flat side can be coated with sensing materials or placed close to the sensing element, enhancing the interaction between the guided light and the external environment [ 109 ]. This configuration enables applications such as evanescent wave sensing, refractive index sensing, and SPR sensing [ 110 , 111 , 112 ]. D-shaped fibres are also used in the fabrication of fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs).…”

Optical fibre sensors are an essential subset of optical fibre technology, designed specifically for sensing and measuring several physical parameters. These sensors offer unique advantages over traditional sensors, making them gradually more valuable in a wide range of applications. They can detect extremely small variations in the physical parameters they are designed to measure, such as analytes in the case of biosensing. This high sensitivity allows them to detect subtle variations in temperature, pressure, strain, the refractive index of analytes, vibration, and other environmental factors with exceptional accuracy. Moreover, these sensors enable remote sensing capabilities. Since light signals are used to carry information, the sensing elements can be placed at distant or inaccessible sites and still communicate the data back to the central monitoring system without signal degradation. In recent times, different attractive configurations and approaches have been proposed to enhance the sensitivity of the optical fibre-based sensor and are briefly explained in this review. However, we believe that the choice of optical fibre sensor configuration should be designated based on the specific application. As these sensors continue to evolve and improve, they will play an increasingly vital role in critical monitoring and control applications across various industries.

In this work, gold nanoparticles have been synthesized using second harmonic generation ND-YAG laser ablation in Ethanol employing 532 nm and 1.064 nm wavelengths. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and UV-Vis absorption were employed to examine the structural, chemical and optical properties of Au NPs. XRD results showed that all synthesized Au nanoparticles are crystalline in nature. the optical band gap upon ablation using the higher wavelength (1064 nm) was about (4.02 eV). While the value of the optical bandgap increases to reach a value of (4.22 eV) at the shorter wavelength (532 nm The FESEM results reveal the formation of smaller nano rode size at second-harmonic generation (SHG) wavelength was found to be about (30 nm at wavelength 532 nm and 44 nm at 1064nm). After that, Finite Element Analysis is used to simulate the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) as biosensors, depending on the surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) phenome-non using COMSOL Multiphasic program. The hollow core-photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) HC-800 was thus overfilled with (water). The confinement loss (CL) of the fundamental mode for the proposed PCF with and without the gold nanoparticles was calculated, we observe without gold NPs the CL at the water and Colon tissue about (1.08E+03, 5.46E+02) dB/m, while at use the deposited PCF with gold NPs the results ensured the decrease more than in the confinement loss at the water and Colon tissue about (1.01E+03, 3.16E+02) dB/m with a clear shift toward higher wavelengths, also when calculating the sensitivity, to increase HC-PCF bio-sensor performance by using wavelength interrogation and amplitude measurements, it found the bio-liquid (colon tissue) has the best electric field using the gold NWs layer in the biosensor equal to 68.8 V/m by comparison when without using the gold NWs layer which leads to high sensitivity.
