Polymeric optical fibre sensor coated by SiO2 nanoparticles for humidity sensing in the skin microenvironment

The sensitivity of a low-cost polymeric optical fibre humidity sensor based on transmittance changes due to evanescent wave absorption is reported using test measurements in an environmental chamber and of the skin. The layer-by-layer method was used to coat 30mm of the central unclad section of a m...
