Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in optoelectronic materials, components, and systems have opened up new opportunities for sensing and imaging in biomedical applications. This Special Issue of Sensors, entitled ‘Advanced Optoelectronic Biomedical Sensing Technology’, will focus on all aspects of research and development related to this area of applications.

Original research papers that focus on the design, modeling, and experimental testing of new sensors and imaging systems that use optical radiation for biomedical sensing are welcome, as are papers that cover testing of such sensors and systems in their target applications.

Review papers on selected fields in optoelectronic biomedical sensing will also be published. They should provide an up-to-date, impartial/unbiased overview of the current state-of-the-art in a particular area while including key results from relevant research groups.

We look forward to and welcome your participation to this Special Issue.

Cultivation in controlled environmental conditions can provide good quality medicinal herbs with consistent properties. A sensing system that can determine the contents of medicinal substances in plants using spectral characteristics of leaves would be a valuable tool. Viability of such sensing approach for mint had to be confirmed experimentally, as no data correlating contents of medicinal substances with spectral characteristics of leaves are available, to the best of authors’ knowledge. In the first stage, presented in this paper, the influence of lighting on mint (Mentha rotundifolia) grown on a small hydroponic plantation was studied. Spectral characteristics of leaves were recorded by a spectrophotometer and colorimetric analysis was used to investigate the relationship between these characteristics and the spectrum of lighting. Dry mass yield was measured to test its dependence on the lighting. Dependence of chromaticity of leaves on the spectrum of light used in the cultivation was confirmed. Averaged spectra of leaves are distinguishable using a spectrophotometer and—in most cases—by a human observer. A partial correlation is observed between dry mass yield and the spectrum of lighting. Obtained results justify further research into the correlation between lighting and the contents of biological substances in medicinal plants using spectral characteristics of leaves. Full article

In this paper, the application of a microsphere-based fiber-optic sensor with a 200 nm zinc oxide (ZnO) coating, deposited by the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) method, for temperature measurements between 100 and 300 °C, is presented. The main advantage of integrating a fiber-optic microsphere with a sensing device is the possibility of monitoring the integrity of the sensor head in real-time, which allows for higher accuracy during measurements. The study has demonstrated that ZnO ALD-coated microsphere-based sensors can be successfully used for temperature measurements. The sensitivity of the tested device was found to be 103.5 nW/°C when the sensor was coupled with a light source of 1300 nm central wavelength. The measured coefficient R2 of the sensor head was over 0.99, indicating a good fit of the theoretical linear model to the measured experimental data. Full article
