Abstract

In this paper, a polymer optical fiber (POF) is applied for temperature measuring of water solution using a light source of 650nm. The aim is to analyse the impact of temperature variations on the output of POF sensor device in terms of output power and sensitivity. From the study, the POF sensor shows a linear trend when the temperature is increased from 30°C to 80°C with the sensitivity of the polymer optical fiber for output power to the temperature are 0.00973 dBm/°C or 0.14797 nW/°C, for optical characterization and 0.0011 V/°C for electrical characterization. The integration of the Internet of Things to the system helps the user to monitor the temperature of various spaces anywhere at any time. The sensed values are controlled by Arduino Uno R3 and then sent to Blynk to provide wireless monitoring by the user.

Abstract

The study proposes a novel approach for detecting adulteration in edible oils utilising a zinc oxide (ZnO)-coated optical sensor. The procedure included the development of a sensor probe using a plastic optical fiber (POF) with a ZnO nanolayer deposition. The ZnO nanorods were applied to the surface of the POF via a hydrothermal process. The sensitivity and accuracy of uncoated and ZnO-coated POFs were compared, and it was discovered that the ZnO-coated POF was more sensitive to changes in the refractive index of the samples under testing. The study ascertained a correlation between the optical power and voltage of the sensor and the refractive index of the medium. As the adulterant concentration in the oil mixture increased, the refractive index of the medium altered. As a result, both the sensor’s output voltage and optical power decreased. Upon completion, it was discovered that the uncoated POF had a sensitivity of 0.073 V/%, whereas the ZnO-coated POF had a sensitivity of 0.085 V/%. These findings highlight the effectiveness of ZnO-coated optical sensors, as well as their potential integration into internet of things (IoT) platforms for monitoring adulteration in edible oils.
