DESIGN OF OPTICAL FIBER BIOSENSORS AIMED AT VIRAL PROTEIN DETECTION

Abstract

The recent pandemic situation around the globe has exposed limitations in traditional virus detection methods, characterized by sluggishness and low sensitivity. This project proposes optical fiber biosensors for viral protein detection to overcome these challenges. The design process is based on using the optic fiber sensors and testing their sensitivity abilities in different mediums. In theory, these biosensors offer high sensitivity, specificity, and real-time capabilities, combining nanotechnology, biotechnology, and optical engineering. Testing will validate their performance in real-world applications. This innovation promises faster, more accurate virus detection, impacting healthcare, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Therefore, the primary purpose of this paper is to propose the design of optic fiber sensors for the detection of viral viruses.
