Abstract

A new type of photonic crystal carbon fiber exhibits tunable structural colors upon exposure to organic vapors. This novel sensing fiber is prepared by depositing hydro-gel microspheres onto the carbon fiber using an electrophoretic method. This study will lead to substantial developments in low-powered and miniaturized fiber sensors.
