Testing and Refinement of Long Pathlength Liquid Core Waveguide Sensors for Autonomous In-Situ Analysis of the Upper Ocean

Abstract

Our research is directed toward the development of optoelectronic devices for measurement of key variables that influence oceanic biogeochemistry. The devices will have extraordinary sensitivity and versatility and, in time, their simplicity should lead to inexpensive deployments and utilization for comprehensive ocean-monitoring on long temporal scales and vast spatial scales.
