Abstract:
The sensitivity and/or selectivity of a chemoresistor type gas sensor is enhanced by measuring the response of the sensing material to a gas sample while the sensing material is subjected to illumination using specially-tailored pulses of ultraviolet radiation. For a given target gas to be detected there is an optimal duration of the UV pulses to achieve peak sensitivity of the sensing material.
