18 May 2011Etched fiber Bragg grating sensing system thermically assisted for analysis of water- ethanol mixtures
This work presents a sensing system based on an etched fiber Bragg grating, applied to the refractometric analysis of
water-ethanol mixtures. The system configuration employs one etched-FBG operating at two temperatures, (20.0 ± 0.5)
°C and (3.0 ± 0.5) °C. The sensing system performance in measuring the ethanol-water proportions is evaluated in the
concentration range between 0.0 and 100.0 % v/v of water in ethanol, resulting in uncertainties less than 3.9 % v/v. The
sensor capability to determine the ethanol concentration is shown, even for the range of concentrations where the
correlation between refractive index and ethanol proportion in the sample presents an ambiguous behavior.
