Abstract
Optical fiber sensor using sol gel membrane incorporated RTV silicon rubber was fabricated and developed for the characterization of dissolved oxygen in aqueous solution. The sol gel materials used consists of Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and Triethoxyoctylsilane (Octyl-triEOS) as the precursor compound for the preparation of the sol gel structures, while tris-BP Ruthenium (II) chloride as the fluorescent lifetime of the oxygen indicator. Dip coating techniques is utilized to position the sol gel technology at the distal end of the optical fiber. Dissolved oxygen gas sensor characterizations include a study on the sensitivity, temperature effects and drift rate of the sensor performance when measured in 40ppt salt water. Potential applications of the optical fiber sensor are including aquaculture, river monitoring and environment sector.
