Abstrakty

EN

To utilize the evanescent wave on a plastic optical fiber (POF), a humidity sensor was fabricated based on a tapered POF with a loop shape and coated with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. The POF was tapered manually to a diameter of 0.90 mm by using the polishing method. ZnO nanorods were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The obtained results revealed that the increase in the length of the tapered POF loop coated with ZnO nanorod had provided an excellent sensing performance as an RH sensor in terms of sensitivity and repeatability properties.

Aby wykorzystać falę zanikającą na światłowodzie z tworzywa sztucznego (POF), wykonano czujnik wilgotności oparty na stożkowym POF w kształcie pętli i pokryty nanoprętami tlenku cynku (ZnO). POF zwężano ręcznie do średnicy 0,90 mm metodą polerowania. Nanopręty ZnO zsyntetyzowano metodą hydrotermalną. Uzyskane wyniki wykazały, że zwiększenie długości zwężającej się pętli POF pokrytej nanoprętem ZnO zapewniło doskonałe wyniki wykrywania jako czujnik wilgotności względnej pod względem czułości i właściwości powtarzalności.
