摘要：

Spectral characteristics of a clad modified fiber optic gas sensor are studied for various concentrations (0-500 ppm) of ammonia, methanol and ethanol at room temperature. Cerium, aluminum and lithium doped (6 at.%) nanocrystalline zinc oxides are replaced with a clad and used as gas sensing materials. The study shows that the spectral intensity increases linearly with concentration for ammonia whereas it decreases for methanol and ethanol. The Ce doped ZnO exhibits higher gas sensitivity compared to Al and Li doped zinc oxides. The time response of the sensor is presented for a Cc doped ZnO with ammonia gas. A model is proposed for understanding the spectral intensity variations. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
