It should be noted, however, that applicability of the thin-film optic-fiber sensor technology to pipelines for leak detection is still a challenge because pipelines are hundreds (even thousands) mile long. Additional research is needed to identify and develop sensors technologies for hydrogen leak detection along the pipeline. 

Miniaturized and robust optical fiber sensors capable of accurate and reliable measurement of refractive index of the surrounding environment have attracted tremendous interest in recent years. One of the driving forces for the development of these fiber optic devices is their broad applications in chemical sensing. When placed in the liquid solution or gas mixture, these fiber sensors can detect the chemical composition change by monitoring its refractive index variation. These...

Some work has been done with fiber-optic-based chemiluminescence sensors. Luminol has been used with various enzymes immobilized on the end of an optical fiber. Sensors based on electrogenerated chemiluminescence with luminol or tris(2,2 -bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) have appeared the latter is particularly attractive due the regenerable nature of the reagent. Importantly, for these applications of liquid-phase chemiluminescence, the reactions are occurring at a reactive surface rather than in a homogeneous solution and as such mass transfer probably controls the overall response.

Homo- and copolymers formed from ROP of [l]ferrocenophanes have been tested for a number of applications. These classes of ferrocene-based polymers have been examined by Vancso et al. as nanolithographic and plasma etch resistant materials. Panned et al. have described ferrocenylsilylene polymer coatings as tapered optical-fiber sensors in the detection of ammonia and carbon dioxide. ... 

Nanocomposites containing metal nanoparticles have attracted a great deal of attention, with resulting magneto-optical properties that strongly depend on the structure, size, and dispersion of the embedded particles looking for their scientific and industrial applications in areas such as optical fiber sensors, optical isolators, information storage, and so on. The narrow particle size distribution and...
