Fiber optic chemical sensors and solid state devices are two versatile sensing technologies for detecting analytes in a host of media. Obvious differences distinguish these technologies: however, they share significant features and issues related to analyte identification and selectivity. This report reviews transduction schemes used in fiber optic sensors for monitoring aqueous ionic species and examines some critical concerns that may hinder commercial acceptance. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
