This paper deals with approach for the detection of chemical vapours based on refractive-index changes of a silica xerogel layer deposited as an optical cladding on the fibre core. The refractive-index changes are evaluated by means of changes of the output power at the end put of the fibre. The sensitivies of tetraethoxysilane /TEOS/ and methyltriethoxysilane /MTEOS/-based xerogel layers to toluene and water are presented in the paper. The hydrophobicity of the two-xerogel layers and their surface-free energy has been determined with contact angle measurements.
