A simple tapered plastic multimode (PMM) fiber optic sensor is proposed and demonstrated for continuous monitoring of salinity based on different concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) in de-ionized water. The working mechanism of such device is based on the observed increment in the transmission o...
