Pengukuran konsentrasi alkohol sangat penting di berbagai industri, namun
metode konvensional yang biasa dipakai untuk mendeteksi alkohol biasanya
memerlukan biaya tinggi, waktu analisis yang lama, dan kurang praktis.
Penggunaan serat optik berbasis gelombang evanescent menawarkan solusi
alternatif untuk pengukuran yang ekonomis dan respon yang cepat. Penelitian ini
bertujuan merancang sistem sensor serat optik berbasis gelombang evanescent
untuk mendeteksi konsentrasi alkohol. Metode eksperimen dilakukan dengan
memvariasikan panjang kupasan cladding serat optik sebesar 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, dan
4 cm. Pengujian dilakukan pada rentang konsentrasi alkohol 0%-3,5% dengan
mengukur intensitas daya keluaran. Performa sensor dilihat dari nilai sensitivitas,
limit of detection (LOD), dan waktu respon. Hasil penelitian menunjukan
peningkatan panjang kupasan berbanding lurus dengan kenaikan sensitivitas.
Masing-masing bernilai (4,63, 6,28, 8,21, 8,98) nW/%. Optimasi panjang kupasan
sangat krusial, dimana pada penelitian ini, panjang kupasan 3 cm memberikan
kinerja paling optimal dengan nilai sensitivitas yang tidak jauh berbeda dengan 4
cm, nilai LOD terendah sebesar 0,55%, dan rata-rata waktu respon 5,24 detik. Measuring alcohol concentration is crucial in various industries, but
conventional methods for detecting alcohol are typically expensive, require long
analysis times, and are impractical. The use of evanescent wave-based optical fiber
offers an alternative solution for economical measurement and fast response. This
study aimed to design an evanescent wave-based fiber optic sensor system to detect
alcohol concentration. The experimental method used varying the strip length of
the optical fiber cladding to 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, and 4 cm. Testing was conducted
over a range of alcohol concentrations from 0% to 3.5% by measuring the output
power intensity. Sensor performance was assessed by sensitivity, limit of detection
(LOD), and response time. The results showed that increasing strip length was
directly proportional to the increase in sensitivity. Each has a value of (4.63, 6.28,
8.21, 8.98) nW/%. Optimization of the strip length is crucial, where in this study, a
strip length of 3 cm provides the most optimal performance with a sensitivity value
that is not much different from 4 cm, the lowest LOD value of 0.55%, and an
average response time of 5.24 seconds.
