The goal of this annual conference is to bring together researchers in all disciplines from industry, universities, government, and other laboratories to discuss the latest results and developments in the area of electrical insulation and dielectric phenomena. The CEIDP is aimed at fostering free discussion of scientific and technical topics, but conference participants are expected to avoid any commercialization of their research activities or research results.","PeriodicalId":444,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine","volume":"41 2","pages":"46-46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10924650","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents an all-fiber gas concentration monitoring technique based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), offering low gas consumption, high time resolution, high stability, and high precision. A 1-m-long negative curvature anti-resonant hollow core fiber (HCF) with a core diameter of <inline-formula> <tex-math>$110~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m is used for both gas containment and optical transmission. Experimental and theoretical simulations confirm that the response time of the system reaches 1.27 s at an overpressure of 98 kPa. Furthermore, the system achieves a relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 2.5% and a minimum detection limit (MDL) of 0.220 ppm under optimal overpressure conditions. In addition, a spatial-resolved scanning imaging is demonstrated for the CO concentration distribution of 190-<inline-formula> <tex-math>$mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m leakage point, enabling clear identification of the topographical features. This technology has potential in the fields of environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and public health.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 8","pages":"13005-13011"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
