Abstract

A novel gas senor combined fiber cavity ring-down (CRD) with frequency-shifted interferometry (FSI) is proposed and demonstrated. Compared to the conventional fiber CRD techniques, the CRD decay transient was originated from continuous-wave light as a function of the distance transmitted in the cavity, therefore this method needs neither pulsed light nor fast detection. As a proof-of-concept experiment, we employed a micro-optical gas cell as the sensing element and measured different concentrations of acetylene samples. The experimental results show that the FSI-CRD system has a resolution of 0.15798%/dB, and it provides a simple and cost-effective scheme for gas sensing.
