| Title: | Ultra-sensitive all-fibre photothermal spectroscopy with large dynamic range | Authors: | Jin, W Cao, Y Yang, F Ho, HL |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Source: | Nature Communications, 13 2015, v. 6, no. , p. 1-8 | Abstract: | Photothermal interferometry is an ultra-sensitive spectroscopic means for trace chemical detection in gas- and liquid-phase materials. Previous photothermal interferometry systems used free-space optics and have limitations in efficiency of light-matter interaction, size and optical alignment, and integration into photonic circuits. Here we exploit photothermal-induced phase change in a gas-filled hollow-core photonic bandgap fibre, and demonstrate an all-fibre acetylene gas sensor with a noise equivalent concentration of 2 p.p.b. (2.3 ¡Ñ 10-9 cm-1 in absorption coefficient) and an unprecedented dynamic range of nearly six orders of magnitude. The realization of photothermal interferometry with low-cost near infrared semiconductor lasers and fibre-based technology allows a class of optical sensors with compact size, ultra sensitivity and selectivity, applicability to harsh environment, and capability for remote and multiplexed multi-point detection and distributed sensing. | Publisher: | Nature Publishing Group | Journal: | Nature Communications | EISSN: | 2041-1723 | DOI: | 10.1038/ncomms7767 | Rights: | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
