Lateral polishing of bends in plastic optical fibres applied to a multipoint liquid-level measurement sensor
چکیده انگلیسی

A new liquid-level sensor with a multipoint layout is presented, which is based on power loss arising in laterally polished bent sections prepared along a plastic optical fibre. The polishing is applied to the fibre surface on top of several U-shaped bends until part of the core is also removed. The resultant bare flat area on the core is an elliptic surface in direct contact with the medium surrounding the fibre. Any variation in the optical and geometric parameters characterising our multimode fibre is analysed, since it will cause changes in the propagation of light along the polished bends. Experimental results included in the paper correspond to the prototype for our sensor, which consists of eight sensing probes placed sequentially along the fibre, in combination with an optoelectronic unit working as a liquid-level transducer.
