Abstract
A linear fiber laser system for measurements of paracetamol concentration is experimentally demonstrated. The cavity is based on a fiber loop mirror and an FBG centered at 1567.8 nm. The sensing head corresponds to a refractometric sensor, whose which principle of operation is based on Fresnel reflection in the fiber tip (FBG side). The system works at detected variations of paracetamol concentrations with a sensitivity of [(8.74 +/- 0.34) x10(-5)] mu W/(g/kg) and a resolution of 2.77 g/kg. The results prove that the fiber laser system could be an asset for processing industries, specifically for non-invasive and real-time measurements of concentration.

Abstract
A paracetamol concentration-sensing scheme based on a linear cavity fiber laser configuration is demonstrated experimentally. The laser cavity has a fiber sensor at one end, that allows refractive index measurements. The refractometer consists of a cleaved fiber tip combined with an FBG functioning as a reflecting mirror. The combination of a fiber loop mirror at the other end allows to reflect all the light from the FBG and refractometer, forming a linear cavity. By measuring the intensity variation of the Fresnel reflection at the fiber-to-liquid interface, the measured concentration is linear and have a concentration sensitivity of [( - 8.74 & PLUSMN; 0.34) x 10-5 ] & mu;W/(g/kg), over a range of 52.61 to 219.25 g/kg, and with a resolution of 2.77 g/kg. The results obtained present high stability and prove the potential of the fiber laser system to performed realtime measurements of concentration, in a non-invasive way.

Abstract
The refractometric analysis of ethanol-water mixtures is hampered because this type of binary solution does not present a linear behavior. In this letter, a multimode graded-index fiber (GIF) tip sensor for the measurement of ethanol in binary liquid solutions of ethanol-water is proposed. The proof is fabricated by the fusion-splicing of a 500 mu m GIF to a single-mode fiber (SMF), and it operates as a refractometric sensor in reflection. To evaluate the prove potential to detected ethanol variations, samples of ethanol-water mixtures were measured at different temperatures (20 degrees C-60 degrees C). The samples have different %(v/v) of ethanol, in a range between 0% and 100%.
