What Does FEWS Stand For?
FEWS stands for Fiber Optic Evanescent Wave Spectroscopy
Fiber Optic Evanescent Wave Spectroscopy (FEWS) is an advanced analytical technique that utilizes the evanescent wave generated at the interface between a fiber optic sensor and a sample medium. By measuring the light attenuation and spectral shifts caused by the interaction of the evanescent field with the sample, FEWS enables precise detection and characterization of biological and chemical substances at low concentrations. This method is highly sensitive and is widely used in fields such as environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, and material science for real-time analysis and quality control.
