Abstract: | Microbend sodium chloride sensors based on polymer swelling are the latest approach to fiberoptic sodium chloride sensors. We have designed, constructed, and tested a compact microbend fiberoptic sodium chloride sensor that utilizes microbend and polymer swelling effects through the use of modified polymer beads. The design of this sensor is an improvement over previously reported microbend sensors. This sodium chloride sensor has shown feasibility as a practical, stable, inexpensive device with excellent performance and most of the desirable sensor properties including reversibility. Further optimization of the sensor is possible for the various applications we envision. |
