Holographic Sensors

Abstract

The development of rapid and low-cost optical sensors can enable monitoring of high-risk individuals at point of care. This thesis described the design, fabrication and optimisation of holographic pH, divalent metal cation, and glucose sensors. Holographic sensing is an emerging analytical platform that allows semi-quantitative colorimetric readouts by eye and fully-quantitative results by spectrophotometry. They have the added advantage of being rapidly fabricated using laser light and having precise control over the optical characteristics as compared to other optical sensors. This chapter discusses potential areas of research in (i) fabricating holographic sensors, (ii) functionalising the hydrogel matrices to increase the capabilities and the performance, (iii) multiplexing holographic sensors through microfluidics, and (iv) extracting quantitative readouts via smartphone and wearable devices. Additionally, this chapter identifies the gaps within the field, outlines the strategies to overcome the perceived limitations of holographic sensors, and includes challenges to scaling up and commercialisation.
