Abstract:
Major concerns arise about marine pollution due to human and industrial activities. The quality of sensing system response depends upon the materials used to realize sensors. There are different techniques used for the purposes of this kind of research that makes easier to reveal main parameters such as: temperature, salinity, waiving, wind, chlorophyll, oxygen, depth, etc. The paper presents an optical fiber sensor design using nanotechnology. The sensor will be used on floating buoys for autonomous marine detection. The sensor principle is based on photo-chromatography and to be realized using a waveguide for conducting light for multimodal approach.
