Current concepts for optical gas sensors are reviewed. Different approaches for gas sensing such as intrinsic and extrinsic, direct and indirect sensing were taken into consideration. For each sensing approach reviewed here, a short principle description and recent applications are given. Several aspects governing the enrichment of gaseous analytes in sensitive layers are also discussed briefly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
