Abstract
There has been a remarkable development of chemical fiberoptic sensors in recent years. The first chemical fiberoptic sensor, which was a sensor for detecting ammonia, was described in 19761. Since then, investigations have been made of numerous parameters, from pH2 to gases3; from antibodies4 to metallic ions5. This particularly intense interest is completely justified, both because the detection of chemical parameters is extremely important in many industrial and chemical processes, in environmental control and in the biomedical field; and also because chemical fiberoptic sensors offer considerable advantages compared to traditional sensors.
