Various Types of Light Guides for Use in Lossy Mode Resonance-Based Sensors.

A comparative study of figure-of-merit fiber sensors of the mass concentration of NaCl solutions based on single-mode and multi-mode fibers was carried out. Lossy mode resonance is realized on chemically thinned sections of optical fibers to various diameters (from 26 to 100 μm) coated with ZnTe. Thin-film coatings were applied using the method of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD).

Silicon Oxynitride Thin Film Coating to Lossy Mode Resonance Fiber-Optic Refractometer.

A fiber-optic refractometer for various liquids with refractive indices in the range from 1.33 to 1.43 has been manufactured and tested.
