Enhancement of the Sensitivity of a Volatile Organic Compounds MOF-Sensor by Means of Its Structure

Enhancement of the Sensitivity of a Volatile Organic Compounds MOF-Sensor by Means of Its Structure

In this paper, we experimentally compare several core structures of Microstructured Optical Fibers (MOFs) for low-finesse Fabry-Pérot (FP) sensors. These sensors are designed for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) measurements. We deposit Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films by sputtering on the MOFs an...
