We depict the fabrication of the device, characterize its performance and show the feasibility of our approach, the good performance obtained and the possibility of using the flexibility of the illuminating fiber to increase this performance and the compactness of the device.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2015.09.067http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925400515303749restricted access543.42654-126621.391.6FluorescencePolymeroptical fiberMicrofiberFísica de materialesÓptica (Física)Bioquímica (Química)2209.19 Óptica Física
