Thin Chitosan Films for Optical Gas Sensors

Article Preview

Abstract:

Here we report on fabrication of integrated-optical sensors for relative humidity and ammonia detection based on natural polysaccharide chitosan. The sensing properties of the fabricated sensor to gaseous ammonia are presented. The sensor exhibits a linear response in the range of 1-300 ppm with the response time less than 1 second. It has been shown that 1 μm-thick chitosan-based waveguide film allows highly sensitive detection of RH level.
