Abstract

A novel optical sensor architecture for the rapid identification of liquid samples is proposed and evaluated experimentally. The proposed architecture is based on total internal reflection transmission of a laser beam. A CMOS sensor is used to acquire the reflection produced by a narrow laser beam when interacting with the liquid sample on the surface of an equilateral prism. Using digital image processing techniques, the critical angle of the transmission is calculated and the identification of the refractive index of the liquid sample is obtained. In the present work, distinct liquid substances were evaluated experimentally using a red He-Ne laser at 632.8 nm wavelength obtaining the refractive index with a deviation of less than 0.0014 from the value. Sensing by refractive index changes are of great importance in biomedical (e.g. optical diagnosis and laser treatments) and chemical applications.
