Abstract

Spectroscopic gas sensing was carried out by using an infrared hollow waveguide as a capillary flow cell. A ZnS-coated Ag hollow waveguide is generally the most suitable selection for use as a flow cell, since it exhibits high transmittance over the wide spectral range around 10 micrometers wavelength. For the corrosive gases that cause serious damage to the ZnS film, SiO₂- or GeO₂-based glass hollow waveguides are applicable. With these low-loss hollow waveguides, CH₄, n-C₄H₁₀, NO₂, and SO₂ gases were measured successfully, and a fast response in gas detection as well as a remarkable reduction of gas consumption was demonstrated.
