Abstract
In this Letter, a hollow waveguide (HWG)-based light-induced thermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES) gas sensing is proposed. An HWG with a length of 65 cm and inner diameter of 4 mm was used as the light transmission medium and gas chamber. The inner wall of the HWG was coated with a silver (Ag) film to improve reflectivity. Compared with the usually used multi-pass cell (MPC), the HWG has many advantages, such as small size, simple structure and fast filling. Compared with a hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF), the HWG has the merits of easy optical coupling, high system stability, and wide transmission range. A diode laser with output wavelength of 1.53 µm and a quantum cascade laser (QCL) with output wavelength of 4.58 µm were selected as the sources of excitation to target acetylene (C2H2) and carbon monoxide (CO), respectively, to verify the performance of the HWG-based LITES sensor in the near-infrared and mid-infrared regions. The experimental results showed that the HWG-based LITES sensor had a great linear responsiveness to the target gas concentration. The minimum detection limit (MDL) for C2H2 and CO was 6.07 ppm and 98.66 ppb, respectively.
