Abstract

A wireless refractive index sensor for in-line measurement in liquids was developed. It is based on the Fresnel reflection on a prism–liquid interface, where the critical angle of the totally reflected light in the interface of two media is detected by a charge-coupled device (CCD) array. A LED is used as a light source and a plastic optical fibre, with a well-established numeric aperture, guides the light to the prism interface. Both the LED and the CCD are controlled with a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B board with wireless communication. Resolutions with values lower than 1.0 × 10−4 RIU can be achieved with this potential low-cost configuration.
