An ultra-high sensitivity label-free optical fiber biosensor for inactivated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) detection is proposed and investigated in this study, with additional advantages of robust and stability compared to traditional tapered fiber structure. The proposed fiber biosensor is based on a tapered singlemode- no core-singlemode fiber coupler (SNSFC) structure, where the no core fiber was tapered to small diameter (taper-waist diameter of about 10 mu m) and functionalized with the pig immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody for detection of S. aureus. The measured maximum wavelength shift of the sensor for an S. aureus concentration of 7 x 101 CFU/mL (colony forming unit per milliliter) is 2.04 nm, which is equivalent to a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.1 CFU/mL (a highest LOD reported so far for optical fiber biosensors), considering the maximum wavelength variation of the sensor in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is +/- 0.03 nm over 40 min, where 3 times of maximum wavelength variation (3 x 0.03 = 0.09 nm) is defined as measurement limit. The response time of the developed fiber sensor is less than 30 min. The ultra-sensitive biosensor has potential to be widely applied to various areas such as disease, medical diagnostics and food safety inspection.
