Abstract
An intensity modulated extrinsic fiber optic Refractive index sensor is presented. A ‘Y’ shaped bundle fiber and mirror are used. Sensor principle is based on change in angle of reflected light caused by refractive index change of the medium surrounding the bundle fiber. The experimental results obtained for liquid of different refractive indices prove the sensor potential to act as sensitive refractometer..
