Kretschmann Configuration-Based Versatile Fiber Optic Sensor for Skin and Blood Cancer Detection

The different types of cancers do affect the normal healthy living of a large number of people. Skin and blood cancer are reported to be among the major concerns. Early detection of cancer is crucial in ensuring proper treatment and cure. The sensors based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are best suited for accurate detection. In the proposed work, different configurations of hybrid nano-structured SPR fiber optic sensors suitable for the detection of both skin and blood cancer have been developed with metal, ZnO and MXene. Higher sensitivities of 7950 nm/RIU and 13,900 nm/RIU, respectively, have been observed for the skin and blood cancer cells, with the theoretical modeling.
