Abstract:
An infrared (IR) sensor and a method of detecting molecular species in a liquid. In one embodiment, the IR sensor includes: (1) an IR light source configured to emit IR light, (2) a sensing element configured to receive the IR light, the IR light generating an evanescent field about the sensing element as the IR light propagates therethrough, molecules in a subject liquid interacting with the evanescent field and affecting a characteristic of the IR light and (3) an IR light detector configured to receive the IR light from the sensing element and detect the characteristic.

Claim (Index 15):
The method as recited in  claim 11  wherein said sensing element includes an optical fiber, said method further comprising concentrating said ions proximate said sensing element with an IX resin covering at least part of a circumference of said optical fiber.
