Abstract :
In this letter, we report a novel fiber optic sensor, which will be suitable for precise determination of volume for any type of liquid present inside a container. The sensor uses a circularly bent fiber loops to sense variation of liquid volume by exploiting bending loss phenomenon. Experimental observations have confirmed that the sensor is able to measure liquid volume down to resolution of 71±3.5 μL.
