Reversible optical waveguide sensor for ammonia vapors
1983
A small glass capillary tube was fitted with a light-emitting diode and a phototransistor detector to form a multiple-reflecting optical waveguide device. When the capillary was coated with a thin solid film composed of an oxazine perchlorate dye, the device was demonstrated to be capable of reversibly sensing ammonia vapors. Ammonia-vapor concentrations from 1000 parts in 106 (ppm) to less than 60 ppm were easily and reproducibly detected. A preliminary qualitative kinetic model is proposed to describe the vapor–film interaction.
