Optical Fiber Tip Sensor for the Measurement of Glucose Aqueous Solutions

A reflective fiber optic sensor based on multimode interference for the measurement of refractive index variations in glucose aqueous solutions is proposed. The sensor is fabricated by splicing a short section of coreless silica fiber to standard single mode fiber. The influence of the coreless fibe...
