Abstract
Silica optical fibers have been modified to improve their sensitivity as evanescent wave sensors for liquids. A section of fiber is stripped of its cladding and bent or coiled, which significantly increases the evanescent wave interaction with the surrounding environment. The effect of sensor shape, solute concentration, refractive index, and temperature on the sensor response is discussed.
