ABSTRACTWe have proposed and demonstrated numerically an ultra-small (4×4μm2) hydrogen sensor based on micro ring resonator. With a palladium or platinum layer coated on the inner surface of the micro ring resonator, the device is highly sensitive to the low hydrogen concentration variation and the sensitivity is at least one magnitude order larger than the optical fiber-based hydrogen sensor. We have also investigated the tradeoff between the portion coverage of palladium/platinum layer and the sensitivity. The width of the hydrogen sensitive layer is also studied and the minimum feature width is determined to be the length of the ring waveguide evanescent wave. This ultra-small optical hydrogen sensor will be promising to realize highly compact sensor with integration capability for applications on hydrogen fuel economy.

The study of refractive index of liquids over a range of 10oC to 60oC shows very interesting results to design and develop a highly sensitive passive fiber optic sensor based on a U-shaped glass probe. The depth of penetration of light that escaping from the core of the fiber into the cladding plays a crucial role in the development of a highly sensitive fiber optic evanescent wave sensor. The depth of penetration of an optical fiber striped off its cladding is directly related to the wavelength of the light, the index of refraction of the surrounding medium, the angle of incidence of light, the bending radius and thickness of the U-shaped probe. In the design of the sensor a U-shaped glass probe is used to replace the core of the fiber in the region of sensing, the diameter of which is same as that of the cores of a pair of insensitive fibers which in-turn connected to a tunable light source and an optical detector. The sensor is highly reliable, robust and easy to configure using multimode PCS fibers and the source operating at the wavelengths of 630nm, 660nm, 820nm and 850nm.
