Two optical fiber sensors are proposed and demonstrated for monitoring calcium concentration in a liquid solution. The first sensor utilizes a bundle plastic optical fiber (POF) as a probe. The system comprises fiber optic transmitter, fiber optic probe which consists of 1000 cores as a receiver, mi...
