Popis: A cost-effective and label-free optical fiber sensor was proposed to detect phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in nM concentration. The sensor is made of an alkoxysilane-modified side-polished fiber (SPF) coated with 4′-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and self-assembled phospholipid (L-DLPC). It is found that the relative transmission optical power (RTOP) of the fiber sensor decreases due to the 5CB realignment and redistribution induced by the PLA2 hydrolysis of L-DLPC. The response-time at 5 dB RTOP variation exhibits an exponential dependence on PLA2 concentration, allowing us to detect the PLA2 by the 5 dB-response time. This detection method can reduce the detection time. Compare with the traditional copper-grid sensor, the proposed novel fiber sensor has a lower detection limit (
