Gas Sensor Based on Photonic Crystal Fibres in the 2ν3 and ν2 + 2ν3 Vibrational Bands of Methane
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, methane detection is performed on the 2ν(3) and ν(2) + 2ν(3) absorption bands in the Near-Infrared (NIR) wavelength region using an all-fibre optical sensor. Hollow-core photonic bandgap fibres (HC-PBFs) are employed as gas cells due to their compactness, good integrability in optical systems and feasibility of long interaction lengths with gases. Sensing in the 2ν(3) band of methane is demonstrated to achieve a detection limit one order of magnitude better than that of the ν(2) + 2ν(3) band. Finally, the filling time of a HC-PBF is demonstrated to be dependent on the fibre length and geometry.

Multi-Line Fit Model for the Detection of Methane at ν2 + 2ν3 Band using Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibres
Hollow-core photonic bandgap fibres (HC-PBFs) have emerged as a novel technology in the field of gas sensing. The long interaction pathlengths achievable with these fibres are especially advantageous for the detection of weakly absorbing gases. In this work, we demonstrate the good performance of a HC-PBF in the detection of the ν(2) + 2ν(3) band of methane, at 1.3 μm. The Q-branch manifold, at...
متن کاملQuantum-state-resolved reactivity of overtone excited CH4 on Ni(111): Comparing experiment and theory.
Quantum state resolved reactivity measurements probe the role of vibrational symmetry on the vibrational activation of the dissociative chemisorption of CH4 on Ni(111). IR-IR double resonance excitation in a molecular beam was used to prepare CH4 in three different vibrational symmetry components, A1, E, and F2, of the 2ν3 antisymmetric stretch overtone vibration as well as in the ν1+ν3 symmetr...

In this paper, design and simulation of a new highly sensitive gas sensor based on a hybrid photonic crystal (PC) structure, containing negative and positive refractive index sections, is presented. It has been shown that using a PC with negative refraction in the first section, the transmitted power is concentrated on the entrance of the sensing channel, and the transmission of the proposed se...
متن کاملDetection of methane at 1670-nm band with a hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber
In recent years, hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (HC-PBFs) have been demonstrated to be a promising technology for gas sensing. In particular, the long interaction path lengths available with these fibers are especially advantageous for the detection of weakly absorbing gases such as methane. In the near-infrared region, methane has the strongest absorption band, 2ν3, at 1670 nm. However, H...
متن کاملPressure broadening in the 2ν3 band of methane and its implication on atmospheric retrievals
N2-broadened half widths and pressure shifts were obtained for transitions in the 2ν3 methane band. Laboratory measurements recorded at 0.011 cm−1 resolution with a Bruker 120 HR Fouriertransform spectrometer were analysed from 5860 to 6185 cm−1. A 140 cm gas cell was filled with methane at room temperature and N2 as foreign gas at pressures ranging from 125 to 900 hPa. A multispectrum nonlinea...
