Cover Story: Currently, there is considerable interest in the development of specific, sensitive, low-cost, and portable optoelectronic instrumentation, specially adapted to optical (bio)chemical sensing. In this context recent developments of novel sensitive and selective materials play an important role when it is required the measurement of chemical and biochemical species. The use of optical fibers in combination to chemical sensing materials allows the development of robust instrumentation for monitoring of target analytes in areas such as the chemical industry, biotechnology, medicine, environmental sciences, etc. On the other hand, advanced measurement methods, such as ratiometric measurements are an alternative to classical intensity or lifetime measurements.
