Highlights

  • Centrifugally spun cerium doped nonwoven fibrous mat are explored as a non-contact optical pressure sensor.

  • The developed sensor depicted wide linear dynamic range and good pressure sensitivity.

  • The sensor properties are based on the spectral shift, broadening and intensity enhancement.

  • β-phase in doped fibers increases when compared to undoped PVDF.

  • Cerium nitrate doped fiber exhibits a high-pressure sensitivity (dλ/dP ≈ 0.28 nm/GPa) with no luminescence quenching.

Abstract

This work proposes a highly novel centrifugally spun lanthanide doped nonwoven fibrous mat as a non-contact optical pressure sensor with a wide linear dynamic range and good pressure sensitivity. The sensor …
