Abstract

A new combination of silica fibres, highly transparent in the ultraviolet (UV) and showing long term stability, combined with a teflon-coated liquid-core waveguide (LCW) is presented for remote sensing in the deep UV, for monitoring one of the major pollutants, nitrates, in water, but with potentially wider applicability. The arrangement exhibits low spectral loss in the range between wavelengths of 200 nm and 400 nm and can be used for analytical investigations to determine small concentrations of such impurities in water. The operation of the optical system to achieve guidance of UV light below a wavelength of 250 nm for fibre optic sensors is discussed. With an optical pathlength of 203 mm, nitrate concentrations as low as 22 μg/l could be detected.
