Highly sensitive refractive index measurement using speckle patterns in perfluorinated polymer optical fiber sensors
Antreas Theodosiou
Abstract:The pursuit of highly sensitive yet cost-effective technologies has intensified in the realm of optical sensors. This paper presents an innovative approach to refractive index measurement by employing a polished perfluorinated polymer optical fiber sensor. Leveraging the distinct optical properties of speckle patterns formed on the fiber's end-face, this sensor accurately discerns variations in refractive index within its surrounding media. The specific material properties of the fiber render it particularly s… Show more
