A simple intensity modulated displacement sensor is demonstrated using a fused coupler as a probe for measuring glucose concentration in distilled water. It uses a plastic optical fiber (POF) based multimode fused coupler as a probe and a flat mirror as a reflector is captured by the same coupler. The light source is a He-Ne red laser (peak wavelength of 633 nm) which is chopped using a mechanical chopper. The reflected optical signal is detected by the silicon photodiode and the electrical signal is then fed into the lock-in amplifier together with the reference signal of the mechanical chopper. The fiber optic probe is first immersed in de-ionized water to measure the output voltage of a 0 % glucose concentration, followed by liquid with glucose concentrations from 5 % to 25 %. It is found that the peak voltage or the collected light intensity linearly related to the glucose concentration. The sensitivity is measured to be around 0.012 mV/(%) when the glucose concentration is varied from 0 to 25%. It is also observe that the slope of the displacement curve increases linearly with the glucose concentration at a rate of 0.0035 mV/(%)2..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
