Fiber Optic Gas Sensor Experiment
Abstract— We report on the use of frequency-modulated con-tinuous-wave and wavelength modulation spectroscopy techniques for addressing a multipoint gas sensor network. A three-sensor net-work of ladder topology is experimentally demonstrated for the detection of acetylene gas. Fiber-based gas sensing is important because it offers several unique advantages compared to traditional gas sensing technologies, such as high sensitivity and accuracy, a compact and lightweight design, remote sensing capabilities, multiplexing, and distributed sensing. Two major mechanisms underpin these types of sensors. The combination of PAS and FMCW may lead to an. By employing a widely tunable, passively stable fiber Fabry-Perot cavity (FFPC), we demonstrate an absorption spectroscopic device that continuously samples over several tens of terahertz.
