Abstract
UV-laser induced fluorescence is a sensitive method to detect pollution of water by a variety of organic compounds, especially by various oil products. The combination of lasers with fiber optics allows an in situ detection without sampling. However, for short wavelengths in the UV spectral range the laser radiation suffers high basic attenuation in the fiber material. Additionally, laser induced effects increase the absorption of the fused silica fiber. In this work, we studied these effects and the resulting limitations for the fiber optical sensor. We give some examples for detection of several water pollutants at various laser wavelengths and for different water qualities.
