  • Abstract
    Computer vision blob detection and tracking is used for precise characterization of optical fiber sensor probe chemically etched. We demonstrate a high degree of repeatability in fabrication of polarization maintaining optical fiber evanescent sensor by tracking etching rates of fiber dopants. We achieved a resolution higher than 0.1 μm by using blob detection processing and centroid algorithm of the fiber probe microscopes images.
