Abstract
The modeling of a side-polished plastic optical fiber as a sensor of
two distinct physical parameters is presented. A comprehensive analytical
study is performed using a geometric optic approach. Different details are
taken into account, such as the geometric description of the sensor, the intensity
profile of the emitter, and the possibility of a multireflection for a light
ray at the sensitive area. The good agreement between the experimental and
theoretical results validates the developed analytical model.
