Abstract
In this work, a sensing technique based on multimode graded index optical fiber in combination with 3-D printed sensing
channel for the detection of different concentrations of Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) has been studied experimentally. This work
demonstrates an optical fiber-based approach for sensing the IPA concentration in distilled water. This method is based on
a real-time sensing mechanism and provides a precise detection of isopropyl alcohol. The molar concentration of isopropyl
alcohol dissolved in 20 ml of distilled water is varied and the corresponding change in output voltage is noticed. The sensing
is carried out by varying input power of the laser source, coupled to the optical fiber. A multimoded optical fiber having
sensing region is used to perform sensing experiments. It is found that the experimental and theoretical values of
absorbance and power loss due to Isopropyple alcohol are in close agreement with each other.
