Abstract

Optical sensor arrays have emerged as a powerful paradigm for high-throughput, multiplexed analysis, overcoming the limitations of traditional single-analyte sensing by leveraging cross-reactive elements to generate distinct multidimensional response patterns. This comprehensive review systematically outlines recent advancements in the design, material integration, and application of optical sensing arrays. It begins by introducing the fundamental principles and design strategies of sensor arrays, followed by an in-depth discussion of a broad spectrum of optical sensing elements─including organic dyes, quantum dots, metal nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, lanthanide-based materials, and nanozymes, et…
