An experimental system for investigating the characteristics of optical sensor materials

Abstract

An experimental system for investigating the characteristics of optical sensor materials, in particular, materials based on modified fluorescent micro- and nanoparticles, is described. The system can be used to obtain multicomponent gas-vapor mixtures, measure fluorescence and reflection spectra, and record color images of sensor materials with a time resolution of a few milliseconds. Experimental data obtained when investigating the responses of sensor materials to analytes are presented.
