The design and construction of colorimetric/fluorometric sensor arrays with high selectivity and sensitivity has been of considerable attention as an emerging technology for mobile chemical detection. Nowadays, many approaches have been made to design sensors, fabricate arrays and generalize their usage areas especially in daily life applications and industrial sectors. This chapter introduces the fundamentals, fabrication methods, and applications of colorimetric and fluorometric sensor arrays. The readers will find detailed information about mechanism of chemical sensing and optical sensor arrays; solid state sensor fabrication methodologies; and specific applications environmental, pharmaceutical, medical, and food sectors.
