Abstract :
The theoretical models of fiber-optic ice sensor (FOIS) which are applicable to various geometrical and arrangement parameters are presented on the basis of a single fiber pair model. The theoretical characteristics of various parameters are simulated and compared by using MATLAB. Moreover, an experiment on a concentric fiber arrangement sensor with processing circuit is carried out. It is demonstrated that the results obtained enable to predict the performances of sensor with various parameters, and pave the way for optimized design.
