Abstract
We report a simple and highly sensitive methodology for the room temperature NO2 gas sensing using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) coated clad etched fiber Bragg grating (eFBG). A significant shift (>10 pm) is observed in the reflected Bragg wavelength (λB) upon exposing RGO coated on the surface of eFBG to the NO2 gas molecules of concentration 0.5ppm. The shift in Bragg wavelength is due to the change in the refractive index of RGO by charge transfer from the adsorbing NO2 molecules. The range of NO2 concentration is tested from 0.5ppm to 3ppm and the estimated time taken for 50% increase in ΔλB ranges from 20min (for 0.5ppm) to 6min (for 3ppm).
