An inexpensive and sensitive technique for fiber-optic sensor applications is presented. It is based on analyzing the modal power distribution in multimode optical fibers, where light propagates in a set modal pattern defined by the boundary conditions of the waveguide. In the presence of external p

✦ Synopsis
This work reports a discussion of several sol-gels formed using a variety of preparation procedures with a view to the production of a suitable substrate for chemically sensitive dyes for various fiber optic fluorescence-based sensor applications. The compositions, qualitative appearance, and coating abilities of a series of gels are discussed, as is their suitability as substrates for indicator materials for the sensor purpose in view.

In contrast to pre¨ious bulk optic approaches, this letter describes a no¨el all-fiber polarimeter for chemical sensing using D-fiber. The polarimeter is a single-fiber sensor, and is less sensiti¨e to en¨ironmental fluctuation in comparison with the two-fiber interferometric sensor. Theoretical sen
Adsorption of Na+ ions from water solutions on the surface of a porous silica layer covering the optical fiber core was studied. It was shown that Na+ ions adsorbed on silica obtained by the sol-gel method influence optical signal transmitted by optical fiber. The dependence of optical signal intens
## Abstract In this article, a simple intensity‐modulated fiber optic sensor for liquid level measurement is presented. The sensor principle is based on frustrated total internal reflection effect caused by refractive index change of a medium surrounding an optical fiber. The end face of a step‐ind
## BACKGROUND This short review presents an overview of devices based on reversible changes in the optical properties of an immobilized indicator as a function of analyte concentration. In most cases, fiber optics are used to conduct light to and from the indicator. This is an emerging area of sen
