Detection of the disease at an early stage could increase the effectiveness of therapy and preserve the patient's vision. Measuring the levels of diabetic retinopathy-associated biomarkers using more reliable methods is an alternative and promising way of diagnosis. Optical fiber biosensors have gained rising popularity in providing affordable platforms due to their high-performance capabilities, miniature size, and label-free nature of detection. These properties made them a sensor of choice for developing biosensors for a multiplexed <em>in situ</em> detection of biomarkers in this study. Here, we report an optical fiber-based biosensor that is based on simply fabricated semi-distributed interferometry sensors. After fabrication, sensitive sensors were chosen for further functionalization with two antibodies against biomarkers relevant to diabetic retinopathy to produce biosensors. The detection of the biomarkers was evaluated in artificial tear fluid in static conditions and most importantly in dynamic conditions simulating natural tear flow. This method allowed label-free monitoring of the intensity change with the increasing concentrations of analytes specifically binding on the biosensor surface. Namely, it was possible to detect lipocalin 1 protein with a limit of detection of 5.98 ng/mL and vascular endothelial growth factor down to 26.6 fg/mL.

To overcome these limitations, this paper presents a novel method that reduces phase errors induced by various types of motion. The method first estimates the MIPSs from the background-removed and Hilbert-transformed fringe images. It then compensates for the MIPEs by incorporating the estimated MIPSs into the phase calculation. Finally, the phase is iteratively optimized using the updated fringe background. The boundary effect of the Hilbert transform is also mitigated in this method. By removing the restrictive assumptions of existing methods, the proposed method can handle objects with complex shapes and motions. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness, achieving up to 87.47% additional reduction in MIPEs under non-uniform motion compared with the state-of-the-art method, while maintaining similar performance under uniform motion.

Majority of the existing methods are adopted from the research on laser forward transmission channels in underwater wireless optical communication. However, owing to the different reception modes of the two, coupled with the complexity and variability of the underwater backward scattering channel, the forward transmission channel method is not suitable for characterizing the change of laser backward detection channel.. Based on the spatiotemporal distribution law of the underwater bubble field and laser backscattering theory, a weighted predictive mechanism for the laser backward detection channel under the induced turbulence of an asynchronous mixed bubble layer is proposed. Using this mechanism, the distribution characteristics of the intensity fluctuation of a backward laser detection channel under bubble-induced turbulence were studied statistically and experimentally. The spot scintillation coefficient (SI) was introduced to quantify the effects of the bubble density and scale on the laser backscatter intensity. A goodness-of-fit test was performed based on the correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) and root mean square error to verify the accuracy of the model, and the effect of mixed bubble-induced turbulence on the laser backward detection channel was quantified. The results show that the model has 95 % fitting degree at 50–1000 μm bubble size and 100–2000 cm<sup>−3</sup> bubble density, and the change in bubble size-induced turbulence has a greater effect on channel intensity fluctuation compared to the change in bubble density-induced turbulence.
