- Abstract
To address the issues of not accurately identifying ice types and thickness in current fiber-optic ice sensors, in this paper, we design a novel fiber-optic ice sensor based on the reflected light intensity modulation method and total reflection principle. The performance of the fiber-optic ice sensor was simulated by ray tracing. The low-temperature icing tests validated the performance of the fiber-optic ice sensor. It is shown that the ice sensor can detect different ice types and the thickness from 0.5 to 5 mm at temperatures of −5 °C, −20 °C, and −40 °C. The maximum measurement error is 0.283 mm. The proposed ice sensor provides promising applications in aircraft and wind turbine icing detection.
