In the paper a hybrid (organic-inorganic) rare-earth-based polymeric UV sensor construction is proposed. The efficient luminescence of poly(methyl) methacrylate (PMMA) matrix doped by europium was used for testing the optical sensor (optrode) construction. The europium complex assures effective luminescence in the visible range with well determined multi-peak spectrum emission enabling construction of the optrode. The fabricated UV optical fibre sensor was used for determination of Nd:YAG laser intensity measurements at the third harmonic (355 nm) in the radiation power range 5.0-34.0 mW. The multi-peak luminescence spectrum was used for optimization of the measurement formula. The composition of luminescent peak intensity enables to increase the slope of sensitivity up to −2.8 mW-1. The obtained results and advantages of the optical fibre construction enable to apply it in numerous UV detection systems.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={UV Radiation Detection Using Optical Sensor Based on Eu3+ Doped PMMA}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/106361/PDF/10.1515mms-2016-0049%20paper%2011.pdf}, doi={10.1515/mms-2016-0049}, keywords={ultraviolet radiation, UV, optical fibre sensor, lanthanides}, }
