We have developed and tested a laser monitoring system making it possible to remotely monitor the thickness of a sensor layer exposed to an aggressive environment. Using the example of continuous monitoring of a layer on the surface of an iron-based metal oxide sensor, we consider the methodological aspects of using a remote laser ellipsometric probe for monitoring the aggressivity of an aqueous medium at different temperatures.
