Simple sensors are proposed and demonstrated using a tapered POF coated with ZnO nanostructures for measurement of different concentrations of uric acid in de-ionized water and changes in relative humidity (RH). The sensor operates based on intensity modulation technique. The tapered POF were fabric...
