Thanks to the guidance of an optical wave in air, hollow-core fibers may serve as sampling cells in an optical spectroscopic system. This paper reviews applications of hollow-core optical fibers to laser-based gas sensing. Three types of hollow-core fibers are discussed: Hollow capillary waveguides, photonic band-gap fibers, and negative curvature fibers. Their advantages and drawbacks when used for laser-based trace gas detection are analyzed. Various examples of experimental sensing systems demonstrated in the literature over the past 20 years are discussed.

The vast majority of gaseous chemical substances exhibit fundamental rovibrational absorption bands in the mid-infrared spectral region (2.5–25 μm), and the absorption of light by these fundamental bands provides a nearly universal means for their detection. A main feature of optical techniques is the non-intrusive in situ detection of trace gases. We reviewed primarily mid-infrared tunable laser-based broadband absorption spectroscopy for trace gas detection, focusing on 2008–2018. The scope of this paper is to discuss recent developments of system configuration, tunable lasers, detectors, broadband spectroscopic techniques, and their applications for sensitive, selective, and quantitative trace gas detection.

Recently, photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) have attracted many researchers because of their special characteristics, and design flexibility that cannot be realized by conventional fibers. One of the important areas of research is the optical fiber hydrophones. In this paper, the finite element solver COMSOL multiphysics (FES) is used to study and compare the phase sensitivity to acoustic pressure of a hollow-core photonic band gap fiber (HC-PBF), and a conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) for various acoustic pressures in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 50 kHz. Simulation results of the investigated optical fibers show that the normalized responsivity (NR) to acoustic pressure of the investigated HC-PBF, and SMF are-344 dB, and-366 dB, respectively.
