The stability of silver halide fibers in artificial sea water (ASW) wi
th and without a protective polymer coating and the influence of high
salt concentrations on the sensor response was investigated. In contra
st to bare silver halide fibers, the polymer coated fibers remain stab
le in contact with chloride solutions. This enables the application of
a recently presented mid-IR fiber evanescent wave spectroscopy (FEWS)
sensor system for the quantitative detection of chlorinated hydrocarb
ons (CHC) also in sea water.
