Abstract
A 4-parameter gas sensor that can simultaneously detect methane (CH4), relative humidity (RH), hydrogen (H2), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is designed and analyzed. It uses a 4D-type coreless optical fiber as the substrate, gold (Au) as the plasmonic medium, and cryptophane-A/ultraviolet-cured fluorosiloxane complex (Crypt-A/UVCFS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Pd-WO3, and zinc oxide (ZnO) as the sensing materials. Simulation results show that in the ranges of methane concentrations (c(CH4)) of 0%-2%, RH of 30%-70%, hydrogen concentration (c(H2)) of 0%-2%, and hydrogen sulfide (c(H2S)) concentration of 0–80 ppm, the average CH4 sensitivity, RH sensitivity, H2 sensitivity, and H2S sensitivity are − 76 nm/%, -2.2 nm/%RH, -153 nm/%, and 15 nm/ppm, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
