Abstract
Fiber optical sensor applications for the determination of pollutants are often based on molecular fluorescence. Excitation is achieved by UV radiation that has to be transmitted through an optical fiber. Unfortunately, interaction of intense UV radiation with the commonly used fused silica fibers induces additional absorption by formation of colour centers, which is highly undesirable in sensing applications.
