Abstract

This paper presents a luminescence oxygen sensor for retinal-hypoxia monitoring. The sensor coats a wirelessly controlled magnetic microrobot that will operate in the human eye. The coating embodies Pt(II) octaethylporphine (PtOEP) dyes as the luminescence material and polystyrene as a supporting matrix. It is deposited on the microrobot as a thin film and this film is experimentally evaluated using a custom optical setup. Due to the intrinsic nature of luminescence lifetimes, oxygen concentration was determined using a frequency-domain lifetime measurement approach.
