Sensitivity to pressure and methane of a cryptophane-A doped polymer
Ingvaldsen, Martin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-12-15)The principle focus of this thesis is the characterization of an on-chip methane sensor based on a waveguide interferometer. It incorporates cryptophane-A molecules in the waveguide cladding to enhance sensitivity and selectivity towards methane. First, the sensor was characterized for sensitivities to ambient conditions, in particular its temperature and pressure sensitivity. The measurement ...
