This paper presents the utilization of tapered optical fiber (TOF) biosensor for the detection of 17-α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), an estrogen hormone. TOF with a waist diameter of 12 μm was fabricated from single mode fiber using heat and pull method. The tapered area was used as the sensing interface...
