Abstract
A novel fiber-optic evanescent wave sensor is presented. The sensor, c omposed of a lead salt tunable infrared laser and a multimode uncladde d silver halide infrared optic fiber, was used for rapid measurement o f sulfur hexafluoride pressures at a few-percent detection limit. High -precision detection and identification of a large variety of gases ar e possible.
