ABSTRACT:
A sensor for the measurement of the refractive index of a fluid and/or phase boundary between two fluids comprises a light guide in the form of a rod; one end of the rod is connected to both a light source and a detection element and the other end of the rod is reflective. If the sensor is used in a refractive index gauge the measurement should be independent of the liquid level; if the sensor is used in a level gauge, a digital measurement should be possible. The coating is provided with one or more cut-outs consisting of windows which are in direct contact with the surrounding fluid.
