TY - CONF A1 - Stajanca, Pavol A1 - Krebber, Katerina T1 - Investigation of bare and tight buffered optical fibers towards distributed humidity sensing N2 - Humidity is one of principal environmental parameters that plays an important role in various application areas. Distributed humidity/water sensing is sought after in wide range of applications including concrete condition monitoring in civil engineering, SHM of large structures such as dykes or dams, soil moisture measurement in agriculture or leak detection in pipeline or sewage industry. Using humidity-induced strain of specialty hygroscopic coating materials, such as polyimide (PI) seems as the most promising approach so far. In this work, relative humidity and temperature response of different commercial PI-coated and tight-buffer fibers is investigated for the development of distributed humidity sensor.
