ABSTRACT:
Methods of detecting one or more parameters of a medium are disclosed. The methods include providing a waveguide grating device, contacting the waveguide grating with a medium, propagating a signal having at least one signal attribute through the waveguide, and comparing the modified signal attribute to a known signal attribute to detect a parameter of the medium.
