We describe a fiber-optic relative-humidity (RH) sensor comprising a moisture-sensitive
overlay on a single-mode side-polished fiber. The hygroscopic polymeric material deposited …

In this report, we investigate the effects of Ag/TiO 2 integrated in side polished optical fiber.
Several layers of Ag thickness has been deposited on glass substrates using electron beam …

For monitoring the presence of water at the splicing points of an optical fiber, the water
detection sensors based on a side-polished fiber coupler with a commercial microscope …

A fiber-optic liquid refractometer based on fiber-to-planar waveguide coupler is proposed
and demonstrated. The liquid plays a role of highly multimode planar waveguide (PWG) …

This chapter attempts to approach the fibre optic humidity sensing technology to scientists
unfamiliar with the field. A general review of this type of sensors is presented here with …

A reflectometric fiber-optic temperature sensor was manufactured and characterized. The
sensing probe is obtained by replacing the cladding with a temperature sensitive liquid on a …

A fiber-to-planar waveguide coupler has been investigated theoretically and experimentally
as a sensor to measure the optical properties of a thin metal film. A method to get optical …

A fiber-optic displacement sensor based on a side-polished single-mode (SM) fiber in
contact with a tapered planar waveguide (PWG) is investigated theoretically and …

In this paper a novel technique for monitoring chemicals and biochemicals using side
polished fiber is presented. The experiment setup for monitoring the biochemical is …

Humidity measurement in industries is a critical factor, since it may affect the business cost of
the product, end product quality, optimal functioning of equipment, and the health and safety …
