Title

Influence of cladding refractive Index on a distributed optical fibre chemical sensor

Author(s)

Sinchenko, Elena;  Gibbs,W.E. Keith;  Mazzolini, Alex P.;  Stoddart, Paul R.

Abstract

Refractive index dispersion in core and cladding materials affects the range and sensitivity of evanescent wave distributed optical fibre sensors. A convenient way of characterizing the broadband performance based on a supercontinuum light source is described.
