Abstract

This paper is dedicated to simulation and design of a long period grating fiber sensor setup for detection of pathogen bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae infestation of water. The results obtained using a simulation model which generates information on the biochemistry of the investigated micro-organism and the long period grating fiber sensor characteristics are presented. The main purpose of the simulation is to accomplish an optimal long period grating fiber sensor setup for an improved design of a portable device for real-time detection of a nosocomial infection source such as Klebsiella pneumoniae..
