Fabrication and Characterization of a Porous Clad Optical Fiber Gas Sensor

An optical fiber has been developed that can be used as a chemical gas sensor. Fabrication of the optical fiber produces a fiber that has a solid core with a porous cladding. The porous cladding region is made from a spinodally phase separable glass where the secondary phase is removed through dilut...
