Volatile organic compounds sensing with use of fibre optic sensor with long period grating and mesoporous nano-scale coating

A long period grating (LPG) modified with a mesoporous film infused with a calixarene as a functional compound was employed for the detection of individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their mixtures. The mesoporous film consisted of an inorganic part, SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), along with a...
