SENSITIVITY IMPROVEMENT OF PLASTIC OPTICAL FIBER ALKANE SENSOR USING NARROW AND CONCAVE CONSTRUCTION

摘要

This study aims to improve the performance of clad-swelling plastic optical fiber (POF) alkane sensors. The fiber core is processed by shaving with abrasive paper to create a narrow and concave construction. A comparison is drawn between the POF alkane sensor with and without the core processing, and changes in performance are measured.
