| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to improve the sensitivity and response time of a leaky-waveguide conversion type POF gas sensor by swelling polymer clad, this research aims at developing the POF gas sensor which forms swelling polymer clad by using electrospray deposition method (ESD method). In this study, an electrospray device was built at first, a consideration whether the swelling polymer was electrostatic-sprayable was done next, and then a POF sensor was manufactured based on the result. Compared the POF sensor with the conventional ones, the improvement of the sensitivity was observed, and it clearly showed that especially multilayered cladding by ESD method was more effective.
