Results:
• We fabricated sensor with two film thicknesses using 1-dip
and 2-dip coatings.
• The 1st-dip coated probe was much less than the
penetration depth of the evanescent wave.

• The 2nd-dip was of the order of evanescent field. This lead
to the maximum possible interaction of evanescent wave in
the case of 2-dip coated probe.

Conclusion:
The sensor response is approximately linear in the measured
RH range accept at very low humidity values as the sensor
responds slowly at lower humidity (till ∼30%) and very quickly
at higher humidity. Thus the sensitivity increases steeply and
linearly with RH in a range from ∼30 to 80%.
