Characterization of a polyimide-coated humidity sensor in a hybrid fibre grating configuration (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alwis, L., Sun, T., & Grattan, K. T. V. (2015). Characterization of a polyimide-coated humidity sensor in a hybrid fibre grating configuration. In J. L. Fabris, H. J. Kalinowski, & W. J. Bock (Eds.), . https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2193678

A Relative Humidity (RH) sensor incorporating a Long Period Grating (LPG) and a Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) in a series configuration was developed and evaluated. The LPG was coated with polyimide allowing it to respond to humidity changes while the FB...
