The 1st Week---No idea of what exactly doing

The two paper works were finished reading, and some information about fluorescence sensor were searched. It was believed that the fluorescence sensor array is made of a group of fluorescence sensors to better estimate the components in the air or inside some other things, like to monitor the surrounding environment. There are generally three parts to form a fluorescence sensor, the acceptor to fetch the target; and the linker to feed back the signal and connect the acceptor with the fluorophore; while the fluorophore part is to show if the target is detected by the acceptor.

The sensor array is made up of lots of sensor units. In the array, each sensor unit has different reactive to different materials. At the same time, each material causes different reactive of different sensor units.

The flourenscence sensor, according to the web information should be like the picture below.

There were challenges we had encountered this week, while looking for the information about the fluorescence sensor, it was found that fluorescence sensor is mostly used to estimate temperature, not in the area of chemistry or biology.  We have no idea about how to start the project, which kind of florescent sensor array should we choose and what field the sensor array should be used in.
