abstract
Diamond films were deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on the tip of Fabry-Perot (FPI) and multi-mode (MMI) optical fiber interferometers. Diamond provides a robust interface capable of forming covalent bonds between atoms on its surface and receptor molecules, required for biosensing applications. The films were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical profilometry and Raman spectroscopy. The diamond-coated interferometers were tested with different refractive index solutions. The sensors response was 40 +/- 1 dB/RIU and -987 +/- 70 pm/ RIU for the FPI and -11 +/- 1 dB/RIU for the MMI.
