Soil moisture content measurement using optical fiber long period gratings

Published: Apr 23, 2017
Abstract
The use of an optical fibre long period grating (LPG) as a soil moisture sensor is reported. Characterization of the device in both clay and sandy soils revealed a sensitivity to moisture levels in the range 10–50%, and the results were compared with the output from a Theta probe, the standard soil moisture sensor, which measures the impedance of the...
