Received: 12 December 2011; in revised form: 3 February 2012 / Accepted: 3 February 2012 / Published: 13 February 2012 Abstract: We report an optical refractive index sensor system based on a planar Bragg grating which is functionalized by substituted -cyclodextrin to determine low concentrations of naphthalene in solvent vapor. The sensor system exhibits a quasi-instantaneous shift of the Bragg wavelength and is therefore capable for online detection. The overall shift of the Bragg wavelength reveals a linear relationship to the analyte concentration with a gradient
