%X This paper provides an up-to-date overview on
the use of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) in chemical
sensing during the last ten years, more specifically, applications
in liquid media including the use of solid-core photonic
crystal fibers, hollow-core PCFs and other MOFs and related
microstructures. To this aim, a classification of different types
of fiber-based chemical sensors is first made, followed by a
description of the most important MOFs and their operation
principles in chemical sensing. Then, studies on the use of
MOFs in fluorescence, Raman and SERS detection among
other detection principles are discussed. Finally, literature including
the implementation of these microstructures in homemade
and commercial analytical equipment is summarized.
This review intends not only to give a current perspective on
the use of MOFs and microstructures in chemical sensing, but
also to make an approach between the fields of optical fiber and
analytical chemistry, in order to understand the basic principles
of operation in this promising frontier of knowledge.
