Fiber-optic photoacoustic sensor for remote monitoring of gas micro-leakage

Abstract

) gas measurement shows a real-time response of 11.2 s. A detection limit is achieved to be 20 ppb with a 1 s lock-in integration time and a 1 km conductive fiber. Since both the excitation light and probe light are transmitted by the optical fiber, the designed sensing system has the advantages of remote detection and intrinsic safety.
