Abstract
A novel and simple optical fiber structure with a section of no-core fiber for measuring hydrogen concentration is presented. Palladium is sputtered to form the coating on the no-core fiber by magnetron sputtering coater. Under different hydrogen conditions, the absorption of hydrogen induced refractive index changes on the outside coating of no core fiber will lead to the variations of the optical output spectrum. Different concentrations of hydrogen are tested, from 4%-0.5%, shows the concentration is relevant with the response time and recovery time. The response time of this sensor is from 300s (4% H2) to 1800s (0.5% H2) depending on the hydrogen concentration. The recovery time of this sensor is from 1200s (4% H2) to 4800s (0.5% H2) depending on the hydrogen concentration. Furthermore, the repeatability and response time of the sensor of this study are investigated experimentally.
