Stretchable physical sensors that can detect and quantify human physiological signals such as temperature, are essential to the realization of healthcare devices for biomedical monitoring and human-machine interfaces. Despite recent achievements in stretchable electronic sensors using various conductive materials and structures, the design of stretchable sensors in optics remains a considerable challenge. Here, an optical strategy for the design of stretchable temperature sensors, which can maintain stable performance even under a strain deformation up to 80%, is reported. The optical temperature sensor is fabricated by the incorporation of thermal-sensitive upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) in stretchable polymer-based optical fibers (SPOFs). The SPOFs are made from stretchable elastomers and constructed in a step-index core/cladding structure for effective light confinements. The UCNPs, incorporated in the SPOFs, provide thermal-sensitive upconversion emissions at dual wavelengths for ratiometric temperature sensing by near-infrared excitation, while the SPOFs endow the sensor with skin-like mechanical compliance and excellent light-guiding characteristics for laser delivery and emission collection. The broad applications of the proposed sensor in real-time monitoring of the temperature and thermal activities of the human body, providing optical alternatives for wearable health monitoring, are demonstrated.
