A Self-Referencing Intensity Based Polymer Optical Fiber Sensor for Liquid Detection
A novel self-referencing fiber optic intensity sensor based on bending losses of a partially polished polymer optical fiber (POF) coupler is presented. The coupling ratio (K) depends on the external liquid in which the sensor is immersed. It is possible to distinguish between different liquids and t...
