Sumario:Lossy mode resonance (LMR)-based sensors have experienced an important development in the last decade. Among the different domains in which LMR-based sensors have been used, biosensing is one of the fields that has attracted more interest in recent years. Here, LMR properties and some biosensing concepts are reviewed in the first place. Then, the progress of LMR-based biosensors is described, starting with cladding-removed multimode fibers (CRMMF), and evolving towards the employment of D-shaped single mode fibers, which have led to better biosensors in terms of performance and limit of detection (LOD). More recent advances, such as the development of biosensors that combine the optical and electrochemical domains, or the introduction of planar waveguides as the biosensor substrate, are also discussed. In all the cases, examples of biosensors are included, indicating the detected biomarker, biofunctionalization protocol, dynamic range, LOD, and specificity assays. Finally, some conclusions about LMR-based biosensors are presented, as well as future perspectives and some ideas to advance in this field.
