在本文中，我们描述了一种低成本的光学水位传感器的基础上与使用的弹性膜的光纤弯曲效应。该传感器设计简单、可靠、成本低。适用于堤坝、水池、水库等管道。该传感器使用标准单模光纤，选择合适的膜，可以测量高达10米或更高的水位。本文介绍了传感器的发展，理论建模，实验室和现场试验的结果。在某土石坝上安装了7个传感器，并将其用于基于光时域反射法的真实的实时监测系统。
In this paper, we describe a low cost optical sensor of water level based on fiber bending effect associated to the use of an elastomeric membrane. The sensor proposed has a particular design to be simple, reliable, and low cost. It is suitable to be used in tubes of embankment dams, tanks, and reservoirs. The sensor uses a standard single mode fiber and can measure the water levels up to 10 m or more, choosing the appropriate membrane. This paper describes the development of the sensor, a theoretical modeling, and the results of laboratory and field tests. Seven sensors were installed in an embankment dam where they have been used in a real time monitoring system based in optical time domain reflectometry.
