Abstract:
A sensor for isolating, identifying, and quantifying one or more analytes in a sample is provided, the sensor having a metal substrate base and a polymer waveguide disposed on the metal substrate base, the polymer waveguide including an optical channel and a polymer disposed in the optical channel; wherein the polymer waveguide optically couples a first and a second fiber optic cable. Also provided herein are methods of using the sensor for isolating, identifying, and quantifying one or more analytes in a sample, the method including contacting the polymer waveguide with a sample, sequentially heating the sensor to a plurality of temperature thresholds, obtaining an optical output at each temperature threshold, and analyzing differences in sequentially-obtained optical outputs in order to identify and determine concentrations of individual analytes of interest in the sample.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the steps of heating the polymer waveguide and maintaining the temperature, transmitting light through the polymer waveguide, detecting an optical output, and determining an absorption spectrum of an analyte of interest are repeated such that a series of analytes of interest in the sample are sequentially desorbed from the polymer waveguide, wherein each sequentially detected optical output is compared to the optical output detected at a previous temperature threshold to quantify a concentration of each analyte of interest in the series of analytes of interest in the sample.
