Abstract

A high sensitive aqueous ammonia sensor based on tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) had been reported. The sensors were fabricated by a 10° TFBG coated by a membrane receptor named as Polyaniline/Graphene oxide on the surface of the fiber. The correlative concentrations of aqueous ammonia were demodulated by global monitoring of the envelope area of cladding modes in the transmitted spectrum of the TFBG. Tests have shown that the proposed sensor can provide a linear and rapid response of aqueous ammonia within 22 seconds, in a concentration range from 1-12 ppm. Moreover, the limit of detection can even reach 0.08 ppm, through the theoretical analysis of our experimental results. The proposed sensor has good performance, is easy to manufacture and of small size, making it a good choice for real-time, in-situ, label-free detection of aqueous ammonia in the future.
