ZnO and ZnO composite graphene are successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method. The optical fiber sensor is fabricated by coating the single-mode-taper multimode-single-mode (STMS) with different shapes of ZnO. The effects of the sensitivity of ultraviolet sensors are further investigated. The results show that the sensor with ZnO nanosheets exhibits a higher sensitivity of 357.85 pm\/nW\u00b7cm\u22122 for ultraviolet sensing ranging from 0 to 4 nW\/cm2. The ultraviolet characteristic of STMS coated flake ZnO composite graphene has been demonstrated with a sensitivity of 427.76 pm\/nW\u00b7cm\u22122. The combination of sensitive materials and optical fiber sensing technology provides a novel and convenient platform for ultraviolet detection technology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20051478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,9]],"date-time":"2020-03-09T05:37:34Z","timestamp":1583732254000},"page":"1478","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["ZnO Composite Graphene Coating Micro-Fiber Interferometer for Ultraviolet Detection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6357-6048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Heilongjiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Manipulation &amp; Control, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Engineering Dielectrics and Its Application, Ministry of Education, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoshuang","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heilongjiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Manipulation &amp; Control, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Engineering Dielectrics and Its Application, Ministry of Education, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daqing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Engineering Dielectrics and Its Application, Ministry of Education, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenkang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Engineering Dielectrics and Its Application, Ministry of Education, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heilongjiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Manipulation &amp; Control, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Engineering Dielectrics and Its Application, Ministry of Education, Harbin University of Science and Technology, Harbin 150080, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1649","DOI":"10.1021\/nl0803702","article-title":"Solution-Processed Ultraviolet Photodetectors Based on Colloidal ZnO Nanoparticles","volume":"8","author":"Jin","year":"2008","journal-title":"Nano Lett."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4312","DOI":"10.1039\/C4TC00394B","article-title":"High-performance ZnO\/Ag Nanowire\/ZnO composite film UV photodetectors with large area and low operating voltage","volume":"2","author":"Yang","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
