Abstract

Optical sensors (Figure 1) can be defined as devices for optical monitoring of physical parameters (pressure, temperature, etc.) or (bio)chemical properties of a medium by means of optical elements (planar optical waveguides or optical fibres). Chemical or biochemical fibre-optic sensors are small devices capable of continuously and reversibly recording the concentration of a (bio)chemical species constructed be means of optical fibres.
