Lasers Med Sci. 2020 Sep;35(7):1531-1542. doi: 10.1007/s10103-019-02945-8. Epub 2020 Jan 7.

Abstract

In order to design and manufacture a reliable biomedical sensor, sensitive tests have to be performed. This is of superlative importance as it has to be used for the general public. Keeping this into account, the test mechanism of such an extremely sensitive sensor is being done that involves exhaustive protocols regarding the checkup and performance of specific parameters. The control system of the setup involves optoelectronic components like fibre Bragg gratings, optical amplifiers and optical couplers that have been mechanized by implementing newly developed algorithms in software (LabView and MATLAB). Performance has been classified by hysteresis curves, scrutiny of timing analysis and investigation of error deviation. This guarantees the credibility and trustworthiness of the said sensor and aids to check out its performance from time to time. This also opens up vistas for further extensions of the project and ongoing applications which has been postulated in the conclusion.
