• A finite element model of plasmonic particle arrays for glucose sensing by surface-enhanced Raman scattering 

      Malyshev, Roman (Master thesis, 2020)
      Optiske biosensorer basert på overflate-forsterket Ramanspredning (SERS) har vært forsket på i flere tiår, grunnet deres store applikasjonsområde. Kontinuerlige blodsukkermålinger er en anvendelse der slike innretninger ...

      Fuglerud, Silje Skeide; Milenko, Karolina Barbara; Ellingsen, Reinold; Aksnes, Astrid; Hjelme, Dag Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Diabetes mellitus 1 requires tight control of the blood glucose levels to avoid harmful effects of either too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia) blood sugar. Due to the availability of low-cost components, ...
    • Glucose sensing by absorption spectroscopy using lensed optical fibers 

      Fuglerud, Silje Skeide; Milenko, Karolina Barbara; Ellingsen, Reinold; Aksnes, Astrid; Hjelme, Dag Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The bulkiness of common transmission spectroscopy probes prevents applicability at remote locations such as within the body. We present the fabrication and characterization of lensed fibers for transmission spectroscopy ...
