Fiber-optic single-point and quasi-distributed evanescent temperature sensors recoated with a blend of poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) are proposed. Solid cladding enables the construction of small-size, low-cost, relatively wide-range and fast-response temperature sensors. The diameter of the sensor does not Read More …
