Abstract
Sensing technologies based on the principle of Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) are continuously driving the development of novel applications like detecting adulteration in petroleum product. Using FTIR phenomenon, the skill highlighted in this chapter has taken advantage of emerging advances in adulteration detection technique, signifying the unique versatility of the optical waveguide core phenomenon. The sensitivity of the developed sensor to detect adulterated petroleum product is in good agreement with predictions derived from its measured sensitivity. Advantages include the ability to perform faster, more sensitive, and very short-time requirement for its measurements without involving any chemicals.
