  • Microsphere based patterning of metal optic/plasmonic sensors including fiber based sensors
    Patent number: 10989867
    Abstract: A fiber-based sensor and a method of forming a fiber-based sensor using microsphere lithography techniques in which a microsphere array is applied to a surface of a tip of an optical fiber to provide for microsphere lithography fabrication of a desired pattern on the tip of the optical fiber. The characteristics of the pattern define sensing capabilities of the sensor to provide for chemical and/or biological sensing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 15, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 27, 2021
    Assignee: The Curators of the University of Missouri
