Abstract Real-time measurement of the relative humidity of air has applications ranging from process control to safety. By using a microfiber form-factor, we demonstrate a miniature and fast-response hygrometer with the shortest-ever response time (3 ms). The sensor head consists of an optical microfiber of 10 µm diameter and 2 mm length configured to form a compact U-shaped probe, and functionalized with a polyelectrolyte multilayer coating of 1.0 bilayer. The sensing mechanism is primarily water-absorption-based optical loss. We have measured a response time of 3 ms and a recovery time of 36 ms. The sensitivity is as high as 0.4%/%RH, and the detection limit is as low as 1.6%RH. The maximum relative humidity is 99%RH, before reaching a recoverable dew-point. |
