Abstract

This paper presents the development of a novel
luminescence-based trace oxygen sensor that will eventually lead
to the production of a commercial sensor for use in gaseous
sensing applications. The proprietary sensing formulation
provides the means of a robust and stable sensor using a
metalloporphyrin complex as the luminescent indicator that is
efficiently quenched by oxygen. The spectroscopic properties of
the oxygen sensitive layer have been carried out and appropriate
optical components and electronics sourced and built into a low
cost, compact, miniaturized device. This novel oxygen sensor
operates in the 0–10,000 parts per million (ppm) range and offers
an alternative to traditional trace oxygen sensors, such as
galvanic electrochemical, zirconia and other luminescence-based
ppm sensors.
