Wearable respiration monitoring using an in-line few-mode fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometric sensor.
Biomedical optics express(2019)
摘要
Continuous respiratory monitoring is extensively important in clinical applications. To effectively assess respiration rate (RR), tidal volume (TV), and minute ventilation (MV), we propose and experimentally demonstrate a respiration monitoring system using an in-line few-mode fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (FMF-MZI), which is the first to introduce in-line MZI into an optimal wearable design for respiration rate and volume monitoring. The optimal linear region of the proposed sensor is analyzed and positioned by a flexible arch structure with curvature sensitivity up to 8.53 dB/m-1. Respiration monitoring results are in good agreement with a standard spirometer among different individuals. The difference in TV estimation is ± 0.2 L, and the overall error of MV estimation is less than 5%.
