Abstract

Errors of registration of complex mode propagation constant increments for the sensors with a film waveguiding structure deposited on the base of the prism coupler are investigated. Possibilities for minimization of mean square errors of the registration by choosing parameters of the waveguiding structure and the exciting light beam are determined. As an example, the optimized sensor of ammonia concentration in air is analysed.
