Optical Microfiber Sensing of Adulterated Honey

A simple microfiber sensor is proposed and demonstrated for the detection of honey adulteration. The sensor uses a polymer microfiber and a silica microfiber probe. The polymer microfiber is fabricated using a direct drawing method from molten poly (methyl methacrylate) and has a waist of 2.3μm and...
