ABSTRACT:
A method and sensor for detecting a chemical substance in an analyte. An anisotropic material is subjected to the analyte. Light is passed through the anisotropic material and collected. A change of an optical anisotropy of the collected light is detected, the change being indicative of the chemical substance in the analyte.
