Optical Nanosensors
6.1 Introduction
Optical nanosensors (NSs) are ultra-advanced analytical tools that bring
together the advantages of customary sensor technology with exibility of
using dissolved indicators. They are dened as devices with dimensions
smaller than 1000 nm that have the capability to incessantly monitor chemi-
cal or biological parameters by optically converting the available information
into signals useful for analytical purposes. The dimensions of optical NSs
vary from a few nanometers, for example, for macromolecules with sens-
ing properties, up to 1 m. Many micrometer-sized core-shell systems have ...
