title: Glucose-sensitive holographic sensors.
abstract: Holographic sensors for monitoring glucose were fabricated from hydrogel films containing chemical ligands based on phenylboronic acid. The films were transformed into reflection holograms using a diffusion method coupled with exposure to laser light. The diffraction wavelength of the holograms was used to monitor the swelling of the hydrogel film in the presence of glucose. Fully reversible changes in diffraction wavelength were demonstrated, highlighting the potential for using these holograms as glucose sensors.
