Undoped and 1 at.% Al is prepared by sol gel method. Doped ZnO is coated on the optical fiber cores in order to sense various concentrations of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and acetone vapour at room temperature. All the films have hexagonal wurtzite structure when analysed using the XRD spectra. The output power changes depending on the interaction between light propagation, coated fiber and the analyte. Output power ratio for 1 at.% Al-doped ZnO coated optical fiber reduces when the coated fiber is exposed to the tested vapour. Meanwhile for ethanol detection, the output power increases and has lower absorption than air. The time response of the vapour sensor is presented for undoped ZnO. Undoped ZnO has higher detection capability compared to Al-doped ZnO coated optical fiber due to the crystallite size..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
