摘要
The use of lossless optical media exhibiting reversible optical interactions upon exposure to physical and chemical agents allows for the implementation of remote point photonic sensors. Hybrid nanocomposite media represent a new class of sensor materials. They are produced by flexible chemical synthesis methods and can potentially be tailored by design to implement specific functionalities. These materials combined with externally manipulated optical interfaces lead to an emerging class of diffractive photonic devices offering unique sensing potential and advantageous operational features at low cost. The first case studies on ammonia and methanol detection are discussed.
