Abstract
Fiber optic chemical sensors and solid state devices are two versatile sens ing technologies for detecting analytes in a host of media. Obvious differe nces distinguish these technologies: however, they share significant featur es and issues related to analyte identification and selectivity. This repor t reviews transduction schemes used in fiber optic sensors for monitoring a queous ionic species and examines some critical concerns that may hinder co mmercial acceptance.
