Study of a novel pressure sensor based on optical microring resonator

We propose a novel pressure sensor based on the combination of the ring resonator with two straight waveguides and a two-end fixed beam. The principle of this device is acquiring the system static pressure by monitoring the changes in the transmission wavelength shift of the ring resonator with double waveguides. The numerical results show that the sensitivity of the system is up to 49.3 pm/kPa while the pressure range is 0--300 kPa. The thickness of the fixed beam is an important factor which impacts the sensitivity of the system. This device can provide support for fabricating high sensitivity and low cost micro pressure sensors.     

An optic fiber sensor for multiple gases based on fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy and microring resonator arrays

A high-sensitivity sensor for multiple gases based on microring array filter and fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy system is proposed and demonstrated. The parameters of the resonators are designed so that the filtered signal from a broadband light source can be tuned with an absorption spectral line of gas. Therefore, through adding microring resonators horizontally and vertically, the number of target gases and filter range are increased. In this research, in the broad spectral range of about 0.9 μm, only the absorption spectral lines of target gases are filtered. The simulation results show that three target gases, CH₄, CO₂ and HF, can be simultaneously detected by the sensing system. Owing to the fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy, the whole system is optimized in mini-size and sensitivity, and we can choose different sensing methods to enhance the measurement accuracy for high and low concentration conditions.

Polymer dielectric layer functionality in organic field-effect transistor based ammonia gas sensor

Ammonia (NH₃) gas sensors based on pentacene organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are fabricated using polymers as the dielectric. Compared with those incorporating poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(4-vinylphenol) or poly(methyl methacrylate) dielectric, a low detect limitation of 1 ppm and enhanced recovery property are obtained for OFETs with polystyrene (PS) as gate dielectric. By analyzing the morphologies of pentacene and electrical characteristics of the OFETs under various concentrations of NH₃, the variations of the sensing properties of different dielectrics based OFET-sensors are proved to be mainly caused by the diversities of dielectric/pentacene interfacial properties. Furthermore, low surface trap density and the absence of polar groups in PS dielectric are ascribed to be responsible for the high performance of NH₃ sensors.

An intra-cavity absorption fiber gas sensor based on performance enhanced techniques

The performance of an erbium-doped fiber ring laser based intra-cavity absorption gas sensor was evaluated with performance enhanced techniques. A multi-line wavelength sweep technique and a weighted averaging technique were proposed for better gas detection. By selecting appropriate system parameters,6 strong absorption lines near 1 530 nm of C2H2 were obtained with good spectrum resolution in one scanning period. One group with higher absorption coefficients was used for relatively low gas concentration detection and the other with lower absorption coefficients was used for relatively high gas concentration. Both the groups can be used for medium gas concentration detection. For various concentration cases,by choosing proper absorption lines and performing weighted averaging, detection accuracy can be obtained over an extended detection range. The minimum detection limit could be very low after optimization.
