Abstract:
Hollow core anti-resonant fiber (HARE) has found a handful applications in optical communications, nonlinear optics and high power delivery. The intrinsic property of the fiber also renders it an ideal candidate for biosensing, which has not been explored intensively. Herein, we demonstrate an optical fiber sensing platform, taking advantages of the state-of-the-art HARP technology and superior physicochemical properties of 2D material black phosphorus, for ultra-sensitive detection of bisphenol A (BPA) in blood and environmental samples. The specially designed HARP can not only achieve broadband transmission of light, but also confine light in the low refractive-index liquid core, ensuring maximum overlap of light and liquid core. Modification of the inner surface of HARP with 2D black phosphorus nanoflakes functionalized with fluorescently labeled BPA-specific aptamer provides a smart sensing interface enabling highly selective detection of BPA via measuring the fluorescence. The limit of detection is 1.69pM, which is more than two orders of magnitude enhancement compared to the conventional plate assay. The proposed assay is not interfered with the BPA analogues BPB and BPS. The long optical path with tight optical confinement greatly enhances the analyte-light interaction and improves the sensitivity of the sensing platform. The proposed sensing platform can be further developed for versatile applications.
