Abstract:
Photoacoustic imaging is a new type of noninvasive, nonradiation imaging modality that combines the deep penetration of ultrasonic imaging and high specificity of optical imaging. Photoacoustic imaging systems employing conventional ultrasonic sensors impose certain constraints such as obstructions in the optical path, bulky sensor size, complex system configurations, difficult optical and acoustic alignment, and degradation of signal-to-noise ratio. To overcome these drawbacks, an ultrasonic sensor in the optically transparent form has been introduced, as it enables direct delivery of excitation light through the sensors. In recent years, various types of optically transparent ultrasonic sensors have been developed for photoacoustic imaging applications, including optics-based ultrasonic sensors, piezoelectric-based ultrasonic sensors, and microelectromechanical system-based capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers. In this paper, the authors review representative transparent sensors for photoacoustic imaging applications. In addition, the potential challenges and future directions of the development of transparent sensors are discussed.

Abstract:
A thin-film pH sensor based on vibrational spectroscopy has been developed. The sensor was constructed by the immobilization of Congo Red at a base-hydrolyzed cellulose acetate film that had been coated onto a ZnSe internal reflection element. The protonation of the azo groups of Congo Red was monitored as a function of pH with infrared internal reflection spectroscopy. The response characteristics of this sensor demonstrate the potential utility of applying infrared spectroscopy to detect the response of thin film sensors. Opportunities to design sensors based on the molecular specificity of infrared spectroscopy are briefly discussed.

Abstract:
Recently, neuromorphic sensors, which convert analogue signals to spiking frequencies, have been reported for neurorobotics. In bio-inspired systems these sensors are connected to the main neural unit to perform post-processing of the sensor data. The performance of spiking neural networks has been improved using optical synapses, which offer parallel communications between the distanced neural areas but are sensitive to the intensity variations of the optical signal. For systems with several neuromorphic sensors, which are connected optically to the main unit, the use of optical synapses is not an advantage. To address this, in this paper we propose and experimentally verify optical axons with synapses activated optically using digital signals. The synaptic weights are encoded by the energy of the stimuli, which are then optically transmitted independently. We show that the optical intensity fluctuations and link’s misalignment result in delay in activation of the synapses. For the proposed optical axon, we have demonstrated line of sight transmission over a maximum link length of 190 cm with a delay of 8 μs. Furthermore, we show the axon delay as a function of the illuminance using a fitted model for which the root mean square error (RMS) similarity is 0.95.

Abstract:
Background: Amino acids are crucially involved in a myriad of biological processes. Any aberrant changes in physiological level of amino acids often manifest in common metabolic disorders, serious neurological conditions and cardiovascular diseases. Thus, devising methods for detection of trace amounts of amino acids becomes highly elemental to their efficient clinical diagnosis. Recently, the domain of developing optical sensors for detection of amino acids has witnessed significant activity which is the focus of the current review article. Methods: We undertook a detailed search of the peer-reviewed literature that primarily deals with optical sensors for amino acids and focuses on the use of different type of materials as a sensing platform. Results: Ninety-five papers have been included in the review, majority of which deal with optical sensors. We attempt to systematically classify these contributions based on the applications of various chemical and biological scaffolds such as polymers, supramolecular assemblies, nanoparticles, DNA, heparin etc for the sensing of amino acids. This review identifies that supramolecular assemblies and nanomaterial continue to be commonly used platforms to devise sensors for amino acids followed by surfactant assemblies. Conclusion: The broad implications of amino acids in human health and diagnosis have stirred a lot of interest to develop optimized optical detection systems for amino acids in recent years, using different materials based on chemical and biological scaffolds. We have also attempted to highlight the merits and demerits of some of the noteworthy sensor systems to instigate further efforts for constructing amino acids sensor based on unconventional concepts.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, deep learning (DL) has been applied in a large number of optical sensors applications. DL algorithms can improve the accuracy and reduce the noise level in optical sensors. Optical sensors are considered as a promising technology for modern intelligent sensing platforms. These sensors are widely used in process monitoring, quality prediction, pollution, defence, security, and many other applications. However, they suffer major challenges such as the large generated datasets and low processing speeds for these data, including the high cost of these sensors. These challenges can be mitigated by integrating DL systems with optical sensor technologies. This paper presents recent studies integrating DL algorithms with optical sensor applications. This paper also highlights several directions for DL algorithms that promise a considerable impact on use for optical sensor applications. Moreover, this study provides new directions for the future development of related research.

Abstract:
In this work, a corrosion sensor based on an optical time domain reflectometer was presented. The first sensor with a bare tip was used to measure the corrosion process of silica glass fiber. Another sensor with a deposited silver layer was used for monitoring the corrosion process in nitric acid. In both cases, reflectance at the end of the fiber was decreasing with immersion time. Thus we can describe the corrosion stage by the level of fresnel reflectance. The maximum sensitivities of the analyzed sensors were as follows: 0.7dB/min (3% HF solution) 0.15dB/h (5%HNO3 solution) Results showed that the corrosion process in all cases wasn’t fully linear, and all reactions began almost instantly after immersing sensors in tested corrosive environments.

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel hybrid damage detection system is proposed, which utilizes piezoelectric actuators for guided wave excitation and a new fibre optic (FO) sensor based on Fabry-Perot (FP) and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). By replacing the FBG sensors with FBG-based FP sensors in the hybrid damage detection system, a higher strain resolution is achieved, which results in higher damage sensitivity and higher reliability in diagnosis. To develop the novel sensor, optimum parameters such as reflectivity, a wavelength spectrum, and a sensor length were chosen carefully through an analytical model of the sensor, which has been validated with experiments. The sensitivity of the new FBG-based FP sensors was compared to FBG sensors to emphasize the superiority of the new sensors in measuring micro-strains. Lastly, the new FBG-based FP sensor was utilized for recording guided waves in a hybrid setup and compared to the conventional FBG hybrid sensor network to demonstrate their improved performance for a structural health monitoring (SHM) application.

Abstract:
In this Doctorate Thesis project, a small library of four structurally related melamine-bridge bis(porphyrin-ZnII) receptors, was synthesized The coordination properties of these porphyrin derivatives has been investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy for a series of aliphatic diamines of general formula H2N (CH2)n NH2 (n = 4-8). A marked colour variation occours due to a favourable host-guest ditopic interaction. The binding constants, higher than 10e7 M-1, make these receptors excellent candidates for the development of sensor devices for continuous flow analyses, in which the porphyrin derivatives are covalently supported onto appropriate solid materials. These dimeric metalloporphyrin hosts (molecular tweezers), have also been successfully exploited as chirality probes for determination of the absolute configuration (AC) for a wide variety of chiral molecules (diamines, amino esters, amino amides, amino alcohols and secondary monoalcohols) by using circular dichroism spectroscopy, in collaboration with Prof. Nina Berova of Columbia University. The deposition of porphyrin derivatives on different matrices was also investigated. Characterizations of substrates were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy. These results show promising potential in the synthesis of highly ordered networks of surface-supported functional materials for sensing and solar energy applications.
Il progetto di ricerca di questa Tesi di Dottorato ha riguardato la sintesi, la caratterizzazione e lo studio delle proprietà di ricognizione molecolare di nuovi derivati bis-porfirinici contenenti un ponte triazinico. Studi di spettroscopia UV-vis hanno permesso di determinare l’affinità di tali recettori nei confronti delle diammine lineari di formula generale H2N(CH2)nNH2, con n = 4-8. Le costanti di formazione dei complessi host-guest sono molto grandi, fino a 10e7 M-1, grazie all’effetto ditopico realizzato dai due centri porfirinici. La coordinazione delle diammine al dimero porfirinico è associata ad una variazione marcata del colore e questo fatto ha favorito l’impiego di tali derivati in ambito sensoristico. A tal proposito, è stata messa a punto una procedura per supportare i dimeri porfirinici su materiali polimerici per la costruzione di sensori da utilizzare per l’analisi in flusso continuo. Questi derivati sono stati anche utilizzati come pinze molecolari (tweezers) per la determinazione della configurazione assoluta di molecole chirali (diammine, ammino esteri, ammino ammidi e ammino alcoli, monoalcoli secondari) mediante l’impiego della spettroscopia di dicroismo circolare (CD), in collaborazione con la Prof. Berova della Columbia University. Parallelamente, sono stati realizzati studi di deposizione di derivati porfirinici su superfici in vista di applicazioni di tipo sensoristico e in campo energetico (fotovoltaico). La caratterizzazione dei substrati è stata condotta mediante misure di microscopia elettronica a scansione (SEM), microscopia a forza atomica (AFM) e microscopia a scansione ad effetto tunnel (STM). Questi studi di deposizione hanno dimostrato come, scegliendo le opportune condizioni di deposizione, sia possibile costruire dei sistemi ordinati a lungo raggio, su superfici di diversa natura, rendendo questi sistemi candidati ideali per lo sviluppo di nuovi materiali ad alto contenuto tecnologico.

Abstract:
With the increasing importance that nanotechnologies have in everyday life, it is not difficult to realize that also a single molecule, if properly designed, can be a device able to perform useful functions: such a chemical species is called chemosensor, that is a molecule of abiotic origin that signals the presence of matter or energy. Signal transduction is the mechanism by which an interaction of a sensor with an analyte yields a measurable form of energy. When dealing with the design of a chemosensor, we need to take into account a “communication requirement” between its three component: the receptor unit, responsible for the selective analyte binding, the spacer, which controls the geometry of the system and modulates the electronic interaction between the receptor and the signalling unit, whose physico-chemical properties change upon complexation. A luminescent chemosensor communicates a variation of the physico-chemical properties of the receptor unit with a luminescence output signal. This thesis work consists in the characterization of new molecular and nanoparticle-based system which can be used as sensitive materials for the construction of new optical transduction devices able to provide information about the concentration of analytes in solution. In particular two direction were taken. The first is to continue in the development of new chemosensors, that is the first step for the construction of reliable and efficient devices, and in particular the work will be focused on chemosensors for metal ions for biomedical and environmental applications. The second is to study more efficient and complex organized systems, such as derivatized silica nanoparticles. These system can potentially have higher sensitivity than molecular systems, and present many advantages, like the possibility to be ratiometric, higher Stokes shifts and lower signal-to-noise ratio.

[ES] La presente tesis doctoral titulada "Detección óptica de especies químicas de importancia ambiental y biológica utilizando sensores moleculares y materiales híbridos" se centra en el diseño, preparación, caracterización y evaluación de sensores químicos moleculares. El trabajo realizado se puede dividir en dos partes: (i) síntesis de sensores de cationes metálicos en disolución y (ii) síntesis y caracterización de nanopartículas híbridas orgánico-inorgánicas para el reconocimiento de especies químicas y biológicas. En el primer capítulo se introduce el marco en el que se engloban los fundamentos teóricos de la química supramolecular en que se basan los estudios prácticos realizados durante la presente tesis doctoral. A continuación, en el capítulo dos, se presentan los objetivos generales de la tesis. En el tercer capítulo se presenta un quimiodosímetro cromo-fluorogénico, capaz de detectar selectivamente cationes trivalentes entre cationes y aniones monovalentes y divalentes mediante una reacción de deshidratación en agua. En el cuarto capítulo se presenta una unidad (BODIPY) conectada electrónicamente con un macrociclo dithia-dioxa-aza. Las soluciones de acetonitrilo y agua-acetonitrilo 95: 5 v / v de la sonda mostraron una banda ICT en la zona visible y son casi no emisivas. Cuando se utilizó acetonitrilo como disolvente, la adición de Hg (II) y cationes metálicos trivalentes indujo un cambio hipsocrómico de la banda de absorción y mejoras moderadas de la emisión. Se obtuvo una respuesta altamente selectiva al utilizar medios competitivos como agua-acetonitrilo 95:5 v/v. En este caso, sólo el Hg (II) indujo un cambio hipsocrómico de la banda de absorción y una mejora marcada de la emisión. El quinto capítulo explora el desarrollo de sensores para berberina y amantadina. Dos moléculas de interés biológico por su uso como fármacos. Se han preparado tres sistemas de sensores basados en la aproximación de puertas moleculares. En concreto, sobre nanopartículas MCM-41 cargadas con rodamina B como unidad de señalización, se ha llevado a cabo la funcionalización con diversas aminas y el bloqueo de poros con cucurbituril CB7. Las aminas utilizadas son ii ciclohexilamina, bencilamina y amantadina. Los materiales obtenidos se han caracterizado por técnicas de difracción de rayos X y microscopía electrónica de transmisión confirmando la estructura mesoporosa de las nanopartículas. Los materiales preparados muestran una respuesta a la berberina y la adamantina, quitando el tapón y liberando el tinte fluorescente al medio.

Les solucions de acetonitril i aigua-acetonitril 95:5 v/v de la sonda van mostrar una banda ICT a la zona visible i són gairebé no emisivas. Quan es va utilitzar acetonitril com a dissolvent, l'addició de Hg (II) i cations metàl·lics trivalents va induir un canvi hipsocròmic de la banda d'absorció i millores moderades de l'emissió. Es va obtenir una resposta altament selectiva a l'utilitzar mitjans competitius com aigua-acetonitril 95:5 v/v. En aquest cas, només el Hg (II) va induir un canvi hipsocròmic de la banda d'absorció i una millora marcada de l'emissió. El cinquè capítol explora el desenvolupament de sensors per berberina i amantadina. Dues molècules d'interès biològic pel seu ús com a fàrmacs.

La resposta dels materials a les dues substàncies d'interès (berberina i amantadina) depèn de l'estructura química de cada un dels materials en funció de les constants d'afinitat entre l'anàlit i CB7.

[EN] The present doctoral thesis entitled "Optical detection of chemical species of environmental and biological importance using molecular sensors and hybrid materials" focuses on the design, preparation, characterization and evaluation of molecular chemical sensors. The work carried out can be divided into two parts: (i) synthesis of metal cation sensors in solution and (ii) synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic nanoparticles for the recognition of chemical and biological species. The first chapter introduces the framework that encompasses the theoretical foundations of supramolecular chemistry on which the practical studies carried out during this doctoral thesis are based. Next, in chapter two, the general objectives of the thesis are presented. In the third chapter, a chromium-fluorogenic chemodosimeter is presented, capable of selectively detecting trivalent cations by means of a dehydration reaction in water. The fourth chapter presents a new compound containing a BODIPY unit electronically connected with a dithia-dioxa-aza macrocycle. Acetonitrile and water-acetonitrile 95:5 v/v solutions of the probe showed an ICT band in the visible zone and were nearly non-emissive. When acetonitrile was used as a solvent, addition of Hg(II) and trivalent metal cations induced an hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and moderate emission enhancements. A highly selective response was obtained when using competitive media such as water- acetonitrile 95:5 v/v. In this case only Hg(II) induced a hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and a marked emission enhancement. The fifth chapter explores the development of sensors for berberine and amantadine; two molecules of biological interest due to their use as drugs. Three sensing systems based on a "molecular gate" approximation have been prepared. Specifically, MCM-41 nanoparticles were loaded with Rhodamine B as a signalling unit, functionalized with various amines and capped with cucurbituril CB7. The amines used are cyclohexylamine, benzylamine and amantadine., The materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques and transmission vi electron microscopy, confirming the mesoporous structure of the nanoparticles. The prepared materials showed a response to berberine and adamantine, which induced release of the fluorescent dye to the medium. The response of the materials to the two substances of interest (berberine and amantadine) depends on the chemical structure of the capping ensemble and it is a function of the affinity constants between the analyte and CB7. The results obtained open the way to the use of gated materials as berberine and amantadine probes.

Abstract:
The identification and quantification of atoms, molecules, or ions concentrations in gaseous samples are in great demand for medical, environmental, industrial, law enforcement and national security applications. These applications require in situ, high-resolution, non-destructive, sensitive, miniature, inexpensive, rapid detection, remotely accessed, real time and continuously operating chemical sensing devices. The aim of this work is to design a miniature optical sensing device that is capable of detecting and measuring chemical species, compatible with being integrated into a large variety of monitoring systems, and durable enough to be used under extreme conditions. The miniature optical sensor has been realized by employing technologies from the optical communication industry and spectroscopic methods and techniques. Fused silica capillary tubing along with standard communication optical fibers have been utilized to make miniature gas sensor based on near-infrared spectroscopy for acetylene gas detection. In this work, the basic principles of infrared spectroscopy are reviewed. Also, the principle of operation, fabrication, testing, and analysis of the proposed sensor are discussed in details.

Abstract:
The advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology in recent decades have renewed the interests in the optical properties of metals. Today, the field known as Plasmonics studies the control and manipulation of the electromagnetic near-fields of metallic nanostructures in order to realize novel subwavelength optical applications. In particular, this thesis explores the phenomenon of plasmon resonance for molecular sensing. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) on flat metal surfaces is used for index-of-refraction sensing and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on metal nanospheres can produce surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The operation principles and the experimental evaluation of two SPR sensing devices are presented. An integrated sensor and a 2D wavelength-angle modulated version were estimated to have an angular sensitivity of 126°/RIU and 91°/RIU, respectively. Furthermore, through an implementation of a full vector multiple-multipole light scattering method, useful for the calculations of the field focusing efficiency between assemblies of metal nanospheres, we showed that optical frequency electric fields can be enhanced in gold nanoparticle assemblies by an order of 450 in nanometer volumes. Keywords: surface plasmons, plasmonics, optical biosensors, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, optics of metals, nanophotonics, nanomaterials, classical electrodynamics
L'avancée des nanosciences et de la nanotechnologie au cours des dernières décennies a suscité un renouvellement de l'intérêt pour les propriétés optiques des métaux. Aujourd'hui, la Plasmonique cherche à contrôler les champs proches électromagnétiques des nanostructures métalliques afin de bénéficier des nouvelles applications reposant sur l'optique de sous-longueur d'onde. En particulier, ce mémoire explore l'utilisation de la résonance à plasmons pour la capture des molécules. L'étude se divise en la résonance à plasmons de surface (SPR) pour des surfaces métalliques planes et pour des nanosphères métalliques. Ces deux méthodes permettent de créer des capteurs sensibles aux variations d'indice de réfraction et d'autres qui reposent sur des effets non-linéaires tels que la diffusion Raman exaltée de surface (SERS). Suite à l'introduction des bases, l'opération ainsi que des résultats expérimentaux de deux capteurs à plasmons de surface sont présentés. Un capteur intégré et une version 2D avec modulation de longueur d'onde et de l'angle possèdent une sensibilité angulaire d'environ 126°/RIU et 91°/RIU, respectivement. Par la suite, la réalisation de la méthode du multiple-multipole, utile pour évaluer l'efficacité de la concentration des champs entre des nanosphères métalliques, est discutée. Une amélioration de la concentration de champ optique de l'ordre de 450 par des nanospheres d'or est présentée.

Abstract:
Diese Dissertation befasste sich mit der Entwicklung von optischen Sensormaterialien für anionische Zielmoleküle durch die Kopplung der herausragenden Erkennungsfähigkeiten von molekular geprägten Polymere (molecularly imprinted polymers, MIPs) mit der Empfindlichkeit fluorometrischer Nachweisverfahren. In dieser Arbeit wurde dabei der direkte Einschritt-Nachweis für das Design der Sensormaterialien adaptiert. Hierbei wird eine Fluoreszenzsonde für die Signalübertragung kovalent in die Hohlräume der MIP-Matrix eingebaut. MIP-Sensormaterialien wurde in monolithischen, Dünnfilm- und Kern/Schale-Partikel-Formaten hergestellt. Die hergestellten Materialien wurden unter Verwendung unterschiedlicher Techniken charakterisiert. Die Performanz der Sensormaterialien wurde auch in Bezug auf die Sensitivität, Selektivität sowie Ansprechzeit bewertet. In dieser Arbeit wurden dabei Systeme untersucht, bei denen die Signalerzeugung sowohl auf dem „Einschalten“ als auch auf dem „Ausschalten“ der Fluoreszenz beruhte. Mit den hergestellten Materialien wurden dabei viele Ziele des Projekts erreicht. Sowohl die synthetisierten dünnen Filme als auch die Kern/Schale-Partikel zeigten eine hohe Selektivität für die geprägten Aminosäuren, auch in Bezug auf die Unterscheidung von Enantiomeren. Diese Sensormaterialien waren ebenfalls durch eine niedrige Nachweisgrenze bis 60 µM und eine schnelle Ansprechzeit von 20 Sekunden gekennzeichnet. Insbesondere die Kern/Schale-Partikel können mit verschiedenen Detektionstechniken gekoppelt werden und sind potentiell für die Entwicklung von miniaturisierten Messinstrumenten für die on-line-Detektion sowie Point-of-Care-Diagnostik (patientennahe Labordiagnostik) einsetzbar.
This dissertation derives from the DFG project aimed on preparing optical sensor material for anionic target through combing the outstanding recognition of Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIPs) and sensitive fluorescence technique. A single step direct sensing strategy is adopted to prepare the sensor material in this thesis. Here, a fluorescence probe is covalently embedded into the MIP cavity for signal transduction. MIP sensor material are prepared in forms of bulk, thin film and particles. The material is characterized using various techniques. The performance of the sensor materials is also assessed in terms of sensibility, selectivity as well response time. Both the switching on and off signaling methods are tested in this thesis. The prepared material achieves the goal of the project. Both the prepared thin film as well as core-shell particle show prominent selectivity even a strong enantioselective discrimination. These sensing materials also have low LOD to 60 µM and fast sensing response of 20 seconds. Especially the core-shell sensing particle can be coupled with various detection techniques and is potentially applicable for developing miniaturized sensing instrument for on-line detection as well as point of care diagnose.

Abstract:
Throughout the history of neuroscience, electrophysiological and imaging techniques have been utilized to observe neural signals at various spatial and temporal scales. However, it has been difficult to manipulate the activity of specific cells or neural circuits with the spatial and temporal resolutions relevant to neural coding. A novel technique called optogenetics, has recently been developed to control the activity of specific cells. This technique allows rapid and reversible optical activation or silencing of specific cells, which have been genetically transduced with light-sensitive molecules. The development of microbial opsin-based optogenetic molecular sensors has made optogenetics easily adaptable in various in vivo and in vitro preparations, and the technique has already been applied to understand neural circuit mechanisms of many behaviors and diseases. Here, we provide an introduction to optogenetics, the practical concerns in using the technique in vivo, and examples of applications that combine traditional electrophysiology techniques with optogenetics.

Abstract:
In natural gas transmission and distribution, many metering stations utilize gas chromatography to ensure the gas complies with the pipeline�s gas quality tariff provisions and to determine the chemical energy content of the gas for billing purposes. It is also used as a check on the operation of gas ultrasonic flowmeters through a calculation of the speed of sound in the gas. Because of limitations on existing gas chromatographs (GC�s), including high installed cost, analysis time, carrier gas consumption and others, there is a desire to consider alternate technologies for natural gas analysis. PRCI has sponsored a study of technologies that utilize the variation in absorption/scattering of optical wavelengths by different molecules. The purpose of this study is to extend that study to the use of additional technologies, such as MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems). This is not a new approach, but recent advancements offer a greater possibility of achievement of the desired goals than in the past. This study reviewed and evaluated work in process with MEMS technology to provide a smaller, less ex-pensive, lower-power and faster GC that can be utilized in a Class 1 Division 2 area. Developments at both commercial firms and in university MEMS research programs have been included. Since there have been several programs to evaluate �energy meters� that attempt to measure gas quality by calculating the BTU content of a gas sample, this study focused on micro-GC�s that can make a much more precise measurement of gas quality.
