摘要
A liquid-core waveguide (LCW) with pure water as core material has been fabricated by coating the inner core of a glass tube with Teflon AF(R) 2400. Its guiding properties are proven and the guiding losses are determined to be 0.016 dB/cm. A first theoretical model is proposed and its validity is shown by comparing theoretical and experimental results. As an example for application the LCW system is used for optical pH value control. The proposed LCW system exhibits the same accuracy for pH-value determination as commercial electrochemical pH meters. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
