In the development of fiber optic sensors for monitoring scale formation in geothermal brine, high sensitivity and easy handling are desirable features. These characteristics have already been successfully enhanced for U-shaped sensors with other applications. In this work, U-shaped fiber optic sensors for scale formation are reported. The sensors were easily fabricated by bending the exposed core of a multimode fiber optic. Two types of fiber optics, i.e., a polymer cladding silica fiber and a hetero-core structure fiber, were used in preparing the U-shaped sensors. The percentage of total internal reflection between water and the fiber core is affected by the high refractive index of the CaCO3scale formed on the surface. For laboratory measurements, the optical responses of the U-shaped fiber sensors with respect to calcium carbonate formation were investigated in a mixture of calcium chloride dehydrate and sodium hydrogen carbonate using a white-light source and a spectroscopic detector. The U-shaped fiber sensors were responsive to calcium carbonate formation on the sensor surface. Almost no change in the sensitivity was detected when comparing the U-shaped sensors with their straight counterparts. The transmittance changes were independent of the bending radius. Finally, the U-shaped polymer cladding fiber sensor was used to monitor the silica scale formation in geothermal brine at the Takigami geothermal plant.
