Abstract

A new hollow fiber filled with the lower refractive index liquid as core constructs a liquid core optical fiber(LCOF). The LCOF have been used as colorimetric cell to determine elements Cr and Cu in the presence of 70%- 50% ethanol or 50% dioxane aqueous solution, based on colored complex of Chromium(VI) with Diphenycarbazid(DPC) and copper with Chromaurd S(CAS) respectively. The sensitivity (1/ng/ml) of calibration curve of Cr and Cu are 0.052, 0.017 over the range 0 - 25, 0 - 24(ng/ml) respectively. The Cr in the animal gum and Nation Standard of China are determined with recoveries of 94 - 102%.
