  • Fiber optic sensor for measurement of carbon dioxide
    Patent number: 9891166
    Abstract: Fiber optic sensors include sensor regions in which an optical phase is modulated by an analyte to be detected. A long period fiber grating (LPG) is coupled to a coating that is arranged to selectively interact with the analyte. The resulting phase change is detected based on a transmission spectrum associated with the LPG so that analyte is detected and quantified. A plurality of such sensors is distributed along a fiber to form a sensor array that can be situated to detect analyte at a plurality of discrete regions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2018
    Inventors: Peter M. Wild, Thomas M. Fyles, David A. Risk, David A. Sinton, Bo Bao, Luis Melo, Martin B. G. Jun, Geoff Burton
