摘要
The ability of detecting harmful chemicals is an important safety requirement for drinking water systems. An apparatus for in-water chemical sensing based on the absorption of evanescent waves generated by a quantum cascade laser array propagating in a silver halide optical fiber immersed into water is demonstrated. We present a theoretical analysis of the sensitivity of the system and experimentally characterize its real-time response and spectroscopic detection for injection of a sample chemical (ethanol) in a tube containing water.
