摘要:

微系统中的光学气体检测受到可用的短微米尺度光路长度的限制。最近,慢光增强吸收的概念已被提出作为一种途径,以补偿在小型化的吸收池的短路径长度。我们扩展了以前的微扰理论的情况下,布拉格堆栈渗透的光谱强色散气体具有狭窄和独特的吸收峰。我们表明,相当大的信号增强是可能的。作为一个例子,我们考虑布拉格堆栈由PMMA渗透O2。这里,可见光到近红外检测(~760 nm)所需的光程长度可以减少至少10^2倍,使得1 mm的光程长度是可行的。通过使用这种技术,光学气体检测可能在微系统中成为可能。

英文摘要:

Optical gas detection in microsystems is limited by the short micron scale optical path length available. Recently, the concept of slow-light enhanced absorption has been proposed as a route to compensate for the short path length in miniaturized absorption cells. We extend the previous perturbation theory to the case of a Bragg stack infiltrated by a spectrally strongly dispersive gas with a narrow and distinct absorption peak. We show that considerable signal enhancement is possible. As an example, we consider a Bragg stack consisting of PMMA infiltrated by O2. Here, the required optical path length for visible to near-infrared detection (~760 nm) can be reduced by at least a factor of 10^2, making a path length of 1 mm feasible. By using this technique, optical gas detection can potentially be made possible in microsystems.
