Organic phosphor based fiber-optic sensor for detection of UV radiation [PDF]
Abstract The paper presents a simple and low-cost fiber-optic sensor for detection of UV radiation. A sensor construction consists of a silica capillary with a photoactive composition based on an organic phosphor, organic solvent and epoxyacrylate inside and a multimode optical fiber in contact with each other.

UV Sensor Based on Fiber Bragg Grating Covered with Graphene Oxide Embedded in Composite Materials
Polymer–matrix composites degrade under the influence of UV radiation in the range of the 290–400 nm band. The degradation of polymer–matrix composites exposed to UV radiation is characterized by extensive aging of the epoxy matrix, resulting in ...

Polarization properties of interferometrically interrogated fiber Bragg grating and tandem-interferometer strain sensors [PDF]
Lead sensitivity in low-coherence interferometric fiber-optic sensors is a well-known problem. It can lead to a severe degradation in the sensor resolution and accuracy through its effect on the fringe visibility and interferometric phase.

Fabrication and Characterization of a Fiber-optic Radiation Sensor for Detection of Tritium [PDF]
: Ce, and CsI : Tl to select the most effective sensor tip. In addition, we have measured the scintillating lights using a photomultiplier tube as a function of distance between sensor tips to the source with the different activities of hydride tritium. The final results are compared with those which are obtained using a surface activity monitor.
