Humidity-sensing effects of optical fibres with microporous SiO2 cladding

Experiments are conducted in which humidity is measured using optical fibres with microporous SiO2 cladding. The optical fibre is found to possess the characteristics of a relative humidity sensor, and is suitable for multipoint measurement employing optical time domain reflectometry techniques.
