Abstract

This Letter demonstrates a novel, to the best of our knowledge, hydrogen sensor based on a polymer planar Bragg grating coated with Pt-loaded ${{\rm WO}_3} {\text -} {{\rm SiO}_2}$. The reflected Bragg signal shows a distinct peak splitting correlated to substrate anisotropies originating from the injection molding process. Especially at low ${{\rm H}_2}$ concentrations, both sensing peaks exhibit an outstanding response to the heat generated by the exothermic reaction between hydrogen molecules and coating. Thereby, a hydrogen volume ratio of 50 ppm leads to a Bragg wavelength shift of ${-}{37}\;{\rm pm}$, which yields an outstandingly low detection limit of only 5 ppm ${{\rm H}_2}$ in air. Thus, functionalized polymer planar Bragg gratings are eminently suitable for ${{\rm H}_2}$ leak detection applications.
