Abstract

We present an optical fiber liquid-level sensor which employs an array of plastic optical fibers coupled to a single semicylindrical refractometric detection element of plastic. The sensor measures the level of liquids in a discrete way and also is capable of discriminating between different liquids (such as gasoline and water) in a tank or reservoir.
