Abstract (EN): In this work a novel optical-fiber sensor for carbon dioxide measurement is presented. A polymeric sensitive layer based on the acid-base equilibrium of phenol and of its derivative 4-nitro-phenol is used for carbon dioxide determination. The sensitive material presents changes in color and in its refractive index. Colorimetric and refractometric measurements were performed. The results show the sensor is more sensitive for lower concentrations and a saturation effect occurs for higher levels. For the colorimetric response, a resolution of +/- 0.15% was estimated and a response time of 30s was measured. For the refractometric measurements, a resolution of +/- 0.50% could be estimated and a response time of 12s was measured. Reversibility and reproducibility were also demonstrated.
