Abstract
The utility model relates to a volatile organic compound sensor based on a long-period optical grating of a photonic crystal fiber. The long-period optical grating of the photonic crystal fiber is completely placed into a sleeve; two single-mode optical fibers are respectively inserted into the sleeve from the two sides of the sleeve to be close to but not in contact with the end face of the long-period optical grating of the photonic crystal fiber, so that un-fused light collimation is realized; and the other ends of the two single-mode optical fibers are respectively connected with an output end of a broadband light source and an input port of a spectrograph through optical fibers. Light is transmitted in the photonic crystal fiber and is subjected to the effect of the long-period optical grating, and thus emergent light has a resonant peak. A resonant wavelength is related to the concentration of volatile organic compounds in a cladding air hole of the photonic crystal fiber, and thus the detection on the concentration of the volatile organic compounds can be realized through monitoring the movement of the resonant wavelength. The volatile organic compound sensor based on the long-period optical grating of the photonic crystal fiber is compact in structure, can be for repeated measurement for a long period, is high in sensitivity and aims at solving the problems in an existing volatile organic compound sensor technology that the detection cost is high and long-period repeated measurement and trace detection are difficult to realize.
