Fiber optofluidic laser (FOFL) integrates optical fiber microcavity and microfluidic channel and provides many unique advantages for sensing applications. FOFLs not only inherit the advantages of lasers such as high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio, and narrow linewidth, but also hold the unique features of optical fiber, including ease of integration, high repeatability, and low cost. With the development of new fiber structures and fabrication technologies, FOFLs become an important branch of optical fiber sensors, especially for application in biochemical detection. In this paper, the recent progress on FOFL is reviewed. We focuse mainly on the optical fiber resonators, gain medium, and the emerging sensing applications. The prospects for FOFL are also discussed. We believe that the FOFL sensor provides a promising technology for biomedical analysis and environmental monitoring.
