Tailored to the current practical requirements, the FoBt Sensor has been developed by the Institute of Nanotechnologies and Optical Technologies (iNano) at the Niederrhein University of Applied Science. Persistent and unrecognized moisture lead to moisture damage and loss of quality on different kinds of products. The novel optical fiber sensor (FoBt Sensor) from iNano combines the detection of water condensation on the probe tip surface with an active determination of the condensation rate and the temperature measurement at the sensor head. This is made possible through the application of the optical fiber sensor principle and the special design of the probe tip.
