- Cardiovascular diseases cause a high number of deaths nowadays. To improve these statistics, new strategies to better understand the electrical and mechanical abnormalities underlying them are urgently required. This study focuses on the development of a sensor to measure tissue stretch in excised tissues, enabling improved knowledge of biomechanical properties and allowing greater control in real time. A system made of biocompatible materials is described, which is based on two cantilevered platforms that integrate an optical fiber inside them to quantify the amount of stretch the tissues are exposed to with a precision of mu m. The operating principle of the sensor is based on the variation of the optical path with the movement of the platforms onto which the samples are fixed. The conducted tests highlight that this system, based on a simple topology and technology, is capable of achieving the desired purpose (a resolution of similar to 1 mu m), enabling the tissue to be bathed in any medium within the system.

- The article presents an inexpensive and simple method of fiber optic interference relative humidity (RH) sensors based on silk fibroin (SF) films. The sensors were made on standard multimode telecommunications optical fibers using dip-coating method and examined using broadband light sources. The measuring stand at which the basic sensor parameters were measured and the measured parameters were presented.
