  • Method for forming a volume holographic sensor in a porous medium
    Patent number: 8241819
    Abstract: A sensor for the detection of an analyte, comprising a holographic element comprising a medium and a hologram disposed throughout the volume of the medium, wherein an optical characteristic of the hologram changes as a result of a variation of a physical property occurring throughout the volume of the medium, wherein the medium is obtainable by formation in situ in the presence of a pore-forming agent, wherein the agent is not present in the sensor or does not react with the analyte and the sensor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 14, 2012
    Assignee: Smart Holograms Limited
    Inventors: Christopher Robin Lowe, Colin Alexander Bennett Davidson, Jeffrey Blyth, Satyamoorthy Kabilan, Alexander James Marshall, Blanca Madrigal Gonzalez, Anthony Peter James
  • Holographic Sensor Based on a Volume Hologram in a Porous Medium
    Publication number: 20090098467

  • Method of detecting an analyte in a fluid
    Patent number: 7402441
    Abstract: A method for the detection of an analyte in a fluid, comprising contacting the fluid with a holographic element comprising a medium and a hologram disposed throughout the volume of the medium, wherein an optical characteristic of the element changes as a result of a variation of a physical property occurring throughout the volume of the medium, wherein the variation arises as a result of interaction between the medium and the analyte, and wherein the reaction and the variation are reversible; and detecting any change of the optical characteristic.
