Abstract

The disclosed sensor is gas sensor of optical crystal fiber with hollow core. The air sensor includes light source, light guiding gas-cell light path, reference light path of general optical fiber, and signal conversion part. Through general optical fiber, and light splitter, the light guiding gas-cell light path is connected to light source. Being setup at another end of the light guiding gas-cell light path and the reference light path, the said signal conversion part including photodiode, and phase-locked amplifier is in use for providing signal for circuit of monitoring external gas concentration. Optical crystal fiber with hollow core of containing gas permeable micropores in micro level is adopted in the light guiding gas-cell. Comparing current optical fiber gas sensor, the invention possesses advantages: simple system, easy of controlling absorbed light path, and coupling loss. The invention raises effective absorbed light path, and response seeped of parts so as to suit monitoring gas in site.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber gas sensor, in particular to a hollow-core photonic crystal optical fiber gas sensor with high sensitivity, fast response speed and large measuring range based on the hollow-core photonic crystal optical fiber. Background technique

[0002] Optical fiber gas sensor is a new type of sensor that appeared in the late 1980s. After more than 20 years of development, it has been applied in many aspects of social life: industrial gas online monitoring, harmful gas analysis, ambient air quality monitoring and explosive gas detection, and analysis of volcanic eruption gas. Industrial needs and people's concern for the environment make the development of fiber optic gas sensors very fast. The rapid development of fiber optic gas sensors is due to its incomparable advantages over traditional sensors:
