| Summary: | The growing field of photonics has seen significant developments in optical pulse fiber-based sensing technologies. In this research, a novel fiber Bragg grating using a Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser source and
innovative spider silk as a base material is presented, specifically designed for the detection of adulteration in pure kelulut honey. Kelulut honey has attracted much attention from Malaysian researchers as it is a highly prized, versatile local health remedy. During the experimental setup, concentrations of the adulterant isoglucose ranging from 0 % to 8 % and 10–50 % were intentionally added to the pure kelulut honey. The sensor showed remarkable sensitivity and detected subtle shifts in both the wavelength and radio frequency spectrum. The
experimental results obtained emphasize the effectiveness of the proposed sensor and demonstrate its exceptional sensitivity in detecting adulteration in pure kelulut honey. This inherent property makes the derived pulse
fiber laser sensor a promising tool for various applications in clinical detection and diagnosis as well as in the food industry. The results presented here not only contribute to the field of photonics but also have the potential to advance the quality control and authenticity assessment of kelulut honey in various fields. |
