摘要

A novel set-up for remote sensing the turbidity of a solution using plastic optical fibres together with a mirror is proposed. The authors have estimated turbidity of a liquid in terms of the nephelometric turbidity unit - NTU, a standard unit that relates the solution appearance with its turbidity for two proposed set-ups. Its performance was also investigated using clay sample measurements over a concentration range of 0-10 g/L. The proposed set-ups are useful for detection of suspended particles in a solution even in small quantities due to its high sensitivity, simplicity and robustness.
