Welcome from the Chairs

Gathering of the interdisciplinary community is necessary for synergistic development in the field of sensors and improvement of life quality. Updating the community on the most recent works and building new links between disciplines enables discussion and new collaborations.

This conference will bring together leading researchers, from both academia and industry, to share their recent findings on a range of topics related to Bio- and Nano-Sensors, Bioelectronics, Chemical Sensors, Physical Sensors, Sensor Applications, and Smart Systems. It will focus on significant advances in the area of sensorics, enabling increased sensitivity, portability, and connectivity. Therefore, the target participants for the proposed conference are experts in the sensors community while, at the same time, the conference is expected to be mutually beneficial for young researchers and students.

We look forward to welcoming you at this exciting meeting in Dresden.

sciforum-029782	Integration of an optical setup for the characterization of near-infrared detectors used in ground and space-based astronomy Jorge Jimenez , Antoni Grau Submitted: 29 Jan 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Jorge Jimenez , Antoni Grau	N/A		Show Abstract
To make Europe competitive in the field of astronomical sensors and detectors, the main goal of this research is to provide the capability to manufacture high performance infrared focal plane arrays (FPA) devoted to scientific and astronomical ground and space telescope missions. This paper presents the main outcome of an international project with the highest standard of quality for this detector. The resulting detector is a sensor with a hybridized MCT (HgCdTe) epilayer on a CdZnTe substrate of 2 k × 2 k pixels and 15 μm of pixel pitch. On this framework, an optical setup has been developed at the IFAE optical laboratory with the capabilities to perform the characterization of a near-infrared (NIR) detector covering the range from 800 to 2500 nm. The optical setup is mainly composed by a power controlled quartz-halogen (QTH) lamp and an astigmatism-corrected Czerny-Turner monochromator with a couple of diffraction gratings covering the detector wavelength range with a minimum resolution of ∼1 nm. A temperature stabilized gold-coated integration sphere provides a uniform and monochromatic illumination while a InGaAs photodiode located at the north-pole of the integration sphere is used to measure the radiant flux toward the detector. The whole setup is fully controlled by a Labview™ application and synchronized with the detector’s readout electronic (ROE).
sciforum-029879	SENSING OF NICKEL(II) IONS BY IMMOBILIZING LIGANDS AND USING DIFFERENT SPEs Liliana Norocel , Sonia Amariei , Gheorghe Gutt Submitted: 30 Jan 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Liliana Norocel , Sonia Amariei , Gheorghe Gutt	N/A		Show Abstract
The aim of this paper is the development of a sensor for the quantification of nickel ions in food raw materials and foods. It seems that about 15% of the human population suffers from nickel allergy. In addition to digestive manifestations, food intolerance to nickel may also have systemic manifestations, such as: diffuse dermatitis, diffuse itching, fever, rhinitis, headache, altered general condition. Therefore, it is necessary to control this content of nickel ions for the health of the human population by developing this new method that brings advantages such as: it is fast, not expensive, in situ and provides accurate analysis. For this purpose, bismuth oxide –SPEs (screen-printed electrodes) and graphene modified SPEs were used with very small amount of dimethylglyoxime and amino acid L-histidine which were deposited. A potentiostat which displays the response in the form of a cyclic voltammogram was used to study the electrochemical properties of nickel standard solution with different concentration. The results were compared and the most sensitive sensor proved to be bismuth oxide –SPEs with dimethylglyoxime (Bi₂O₃/C - dmgH₂) with a linear response over a wide range (0.1–10 ppm) of nickel concentrations. Furthermore, the sensor shows excellent selectivity in the presence of common interfering species. The Bi₂O₃/C - dmgH₂sensor showed good viability for nickel analysis in food samples (cocoa, spinach, cabbage and red wine) and demonstrated significant advancement in sensor technology for practical applications.
sciforum-029901	Fix-Wavelength Multi-Analyte Detection with serial SOI Ring Resonators Laura Kasper , Abbas Zein Al-Din , Jürgen Bruns , Rudolf Volkmer , Klaus Petermann Submitted: 30 Jan 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Laura Kasper , Abbas Zein Al-Din , Jürgen Bruns , Rudolf Volkmer , Klaus Petermann	N/A	N/A	Show Abstract
We present a method for the read-out of five serially arranged SOI ring resonator-based biosensors at a speed of 3 Hz/sensor and at a fixed wavelength of 1550 nm. The system uses the high thermo-optical coefficient of silicon by applying AC voltages to periodically heat up electrodes adjacent to each sensor. A time-division multiplex scheme allows the allocation of the measured optical output from the mutual spectrum to each specific resonator. We demonstrate our system by immobilizing two different antibodies (biotin and a hexa-His-peptide) at the surface of selected resonators and successfully showing the selective binding characteristics of analyte-probing in a microfluidics supported experiments.
sciforum-029950	The effect of measurement trends in belt breathing sensors Erik Vanegas , Raul Igual , Inmaculada Plaza Submitted: 30 Jan 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Erik Vanegas , Raul Igual , Inmaculada Plaza	N/A		Show Abstract
Sensors for respiratory monitoring can be classified into wearable and non-wearable systems. Wearable sensors can be worn in several positions, the chest being one of the most effective. In this paper, we have studied the performance of a new piezoresistive breathing sensing system to be worn on the chest with a belt. One of the main problems of belt-attached sensing systems is that they present trends in measurements due to subject movements or differences in subject constitution. These trends affect sensor performance. To mitigate them, it is possible to post-process the data to remove trends in measurements, but relevant data from the respiration signal may be lost. In this study, two different detrending methods are applied to respiration signals. After conducting an ex-perimental study with 21 subjects who breathed in different positions with a chest piezoresistive sensor attached to a belt, detrending method 2 proved to be better at improving quality of respiration signals.
sciforum-030008	Prototyping platform for laser-based sensor technologies: Inspection of conversion coatings on alumina Yannic Toschke , Jörg Rischmüller , Mirco Imlau Submitted: 31 Jan 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Yannic Toschke , Jörg Rischmüller , Mirco Imlau	N/A		Show Abstract
Transferring laser-based sensors into industrial applications, for instance for the contact-& destruction-free inline quality control of alumina alloys, is very challenging due to laser-safety requirements and the complex implementation in individual technological infrastructures. In order to open laser-based sensor technology even for small to medium size enterprises, we introduce a prototyping platform for laser-based sensor technologies that enables the fast, error-free, flexible and low cost transformation into industry. As an example, the transformation of the laser-based sensor concept using coherent light scattering at technical insulating films is shown. The transformation of this type of sensor for inline quality control is particularly demanding due to the requirement of probing transparent conversion coatings, with a thickness of less than 70 nm so that commonly applied electronic techniques fail. The conversion films are produced on the top of cold-rolled, unpolished alumina so that coherently scattered laser light is regarded as superposition from diffuse scattering processes at the surfaces/interfaces, inclusions and/or layer imperfections. Analysis is realized by extending the principle approach of reflectometry by considering the role of diffuse and specular scattering together with the concepts of light interferometry. The functionality of the transformed sensor is successfully validated using five different conversion coating thicknesses on AA3003 alumina substrates.
