Abstract: A sensor system, the manufacturing of such system, and the use of such system for optical detection of a target analyte in a gaseous medium are described. The sensor system includes a hollow waveguide that is provided with a reflective mirror layer along its inner wall and a concentrating coating of an inorganic sorption material. The mirror layer defines a light path for guiding light between a light inlet and a light outlet that are provided on opposing terminal ends of the hollow waveguide. The concentrating coating increases an effective concentration of target analytes, if present, and allows optical, preferably spectroscopic, analysis of the medium by recording transmission of light, preferably infrared light, guided through the hollow waveguide.

Abstract: A chip-scale, reusable sensor can detect aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), rapidly in water without sample preparation. The device is capable of real-time, continuous monitoring for BTEX solutes, which diffuse into a film, such as a polymer, on the sensors surface. In operation, BTEX analytes concentrate in the film, causing an increase in refractive index, which modulates evanescent coupling into the chips integrated photodetector array. Integration of the photodetector array simplifies system instrumentation and permits incorporation of an on-chip photocurrent reference region in the immediate vicinity of the sensing region, reducing drift due to temperature fluctuations. In some examples, the chip responds linearly for BTEX concentrations between 1 ppm and 30 ppm, with a limit of detection of 359 ppb, 249 ppb, and 103 ppb for benzene, toluene, and xylene in water, respectively.

Abstract: A reflective element for directing an optical signal into a fiber optic sensor having an optical fiber includes a plane containing a sharply defined straight line that separates between a first area of low reflectivity and a second area of high reflectivity. The plane is disposed parallel to a free end surface of the optical fiber so that the free end surface intersects the line of the reflective element, whereby relative movement between the free end surface of the optical fiber and the line in response to a physical change sensed by the fiber optic sensor induces variations in an optical signal reflected by the reflective element through the optical fiber, which variations allow measurement of the physical change.
