Abstract: • A new hybrid biosensor based on fiber-optic sensor and papered-based biosensor. • Microfiber long period grating combined with thermal-optic polymer material for efficient acquiring photothermal signal. • Plasmonic nanoparticle used in lateral flow immunoassay for photothermal generation and as immuno-probe. • High sensitivity due to the structure of strong evanescent wave and the cascade strategy of thermo-optic transduction. • Quantitative analysis with low LOD of 0.219 ng/mL, wide working range (0.195–200 ng/mL), and high selectivity for Cr3+. Paper-based biosensors are important analytical tools in biological and chemical fields. To increase the detection limit and range, here we demonstrated a microfiber long-period grating (mLPG) based biosensor for lateral flow immunoassay (mLPG-LFIA). Compared to conventional paper-based biosensor, the mLPG with strong evanescent wave functions as an ultrasensitive tool for detecting the refractive index changes induced by the localized plasmonic heating of antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles. The LFIA concentration level is encoded into the refractive index modulation and can be subsequently read by measuring the spectral shift of the mLPG. As proof-of-concept demonstration, quantitative analysis of heavy-metal chromium-ion concentrations ranging from of 0.195 to 200 ng/mL is performed, and a detection limit of 0.219 ng/mL is achieved. The proposed technique is sensitive, easy-to-use, and can serve as a powerful tool to analyze trace chemicals or biochemicals for application in the area of medicine, foods safety and environment monitoring.
