Problems solved by technology

Although the plastic optical fiber humidity sensor has many advantages above, the reported plastic optical fiber humidity sensor faces a key problem: low sensitivity
The optical transmission inside the communication plastic optical fiber is based on the core-cladding film. The light beam is mainly limited to the internal transmission of the optical fiber. The optical radiation intensity on the surface of the optical fiber is low, and the interaction between light and the measured parameter is low, resulting in low sensor sensitivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hydrogen sensor, in particular to a U-shaped humidity-sensitive optical fiber sensor and a manufacturing method. Background technique [0002] Humidity is an important parameter affecting the safe operation of electrical control cabinets and communication rooms. In order to maintain the humidity in the power distribution room within the normal allowable relative humidity working range of the device (the maximum allowable relative humidity is 75% RH), improve the service life of the device, and ensure its safe operation, the humidity in the power distribution room must be monitored in real time. [0003] At present, there are many sensors used for humidity measurement, among which optical fiber sensors have been widely used due to their advantages of anti-electromagnetic interference, chemical corrosion resistance, long-distance transmission, fast response, and high sensitivity. Among optical fiber humidity sensors, plastic o...
