Optical Sensor for Diverse Organic Vapors at ppm Concentration Ranges

A broadly responsive optical organic vapor sensor is described that responds to low concentrations of organic vapors without significant interference from water vapor. Responses to several classes of organic vapors are highlighted, and trends within classes are presented. The relationship between mo...
