The influence of particulates on sapphire fiber evanescent wave absorption by water has been studied. Suspensions containing microsized graphite flakes and glassy carbon powder were used. Conventional free-space transmittance measurements of these samples showed strong absorption and scattering, which severely screened the absorption by water. However, the absorption on the water band determined from the evanescent wave interaction was unaffected by the presence of the graphite flakes. These results indicate that fiber-optic evanescent wave chemical sensors may be suitable for process control applications involving turbid reactor streams.

This paper discusses the theoretical and experimental implications of tapering a multimode optical fiber with a view to its use in evanescent wave absorption spectroscopy. Good experimental results are obtained, showing the possibility of quadruplicating the absorbance efficiency. This easy and reproducible technique for taper fabrication is suitable for the implementation of both probes for spectroscopy and chemically assisted fiber-optic sensors.
