A simple humidity sensor is proposed and demonstrated using a tapered plastic optical fiber (POF) as a probe. Its operation is based on intensity modulation technique using a tapered POF probe coated with a polymer blend of hydroxyethylcellulose/polyvinylidenefluoride (HEC/PVDF) composite that acts...
