Abstract

The innovative idea of this paper implies the possibility to exploit the properties of graphene oxide (GO) to UV radiation sensor design. The idea assumes that a temperature change around the fiber can be induced by UV radiation. Particular attention in the case of UV radiation detection merits of GO, which has a high UV absorption only. UV lighting will increase the internal energy of the GO and consequently locally raise the temperature on the surface of the optical fiber. The temperature is changing stress distribution in the fiber.
