Chemical sensing utilizing optics is less than wide learn world wide and plenty of optical chemical sensors are discovering expanding software in undefined, environmental tracking, medication, biomedicine and chemical research. this is often evidenced through an annual progress within the variety of foreign clinical meetings during which advances within the box of optical chemical sensors are mentioned. those meetings, are, although, all for disseminating the newest clinical effects instead of offering in-depth schooling within the box of optical chemical sensors. furthermore, the subject of optical chemical sensors is barely simply starting to locate its approach into the curricula of universities and faculties in Europe and within the US. a result of prominence that optical sensors are assuming, it has develop into progressively more vital to set up a framework for dialogue and interchange, as well as conventional meetings, to help examine and schooling during this very important box. in the summertime of 2004, the NATO A. S. I. at the topic “Optical Chemical Sensors” used to be organised in Erice, Sicily. This NATO A. S. I. used to be th the forty process the overseas tuition of Quantum Electronics, lower than the auspices of the “Ettore Majorana starting place and heart for clinical tradition” and was once directed through Dr. J. Homola of the Institute of Radio Engineering and digital (IREE) of the Academy of Sciences in Prague and through Dr. F. Baldini of the “Nello Carrara Institute of utilized Physics” (IFAC-CNR).

Similarly, today we can visualize how important the field of lasers is, and we can see how active it is, and what it’s likely to do, but we can’t predict everything that it is going to do in the future. And so I would say the field of lasers is in its adolescence. We can see pretty well that it’s got lots of potential, but we can’t predict its entire future, and we expect other scientists and engineers to still find many more applications. Now, I like to make an analogy to describe this situation.
I might say interdisciplinary interaction also reminds me of Erice, this very important place where you bring people together, and I think we have to be very thankful for what Professor Martellucci is doing in running this place, in organizing it, in bringing people together in different fields, getting scientists from many different countries together. You can see from my illustrations how important that is, in fact. Third, we must be open to viewpoints, ideas and experiments which do not fit accepted scientific thinking and trends.
Weidgans The feasibility of an optical fiber system was demonstrated for the differential absorption analysis of the car pollutant nitrogen dioxide. It absorbs in the visible and can be "sensed" using an Ar-ion laser27. The yellow metabolite bilirubin has been monitored in blood via fiber optic spectrometry in serum28. The tip of a fiber optic cable was inserted into a injection needle so to reach the blood sample, and absorbance (and later fluorescence) was acquired of a sample contained in the cavity at the tip of the fiber or needle.
