Fiber evanescent wave spectroscopy based on IR fluorescent chalcogenide fibers

Résumé

Chalcogenide glasses, owing to their transparency in the infrared window and the appropriate solubility of rare earth, allows the generation of middle infrared (mid-IR) radiation from a near infrared or visible pumping source. These emitted mid-IR broad bands can probe the vibrational modes of several molecules, e.g. C-H, CO or C-Cl. Relying on this principle, a mid-IR optical sensor using the mid-IR fluorescence of Pr3+: Ga-Ge-Sb-S fibers has been developed. The detection principle is based on Fiber Evanescent Wave Spectroscopy (FEWS). The spectroscopic characterization of praseodymium ions (Pr3+) was performed in the near and mid-IR and is discussed on the basis of comparison with Judd-Ofelt calculations. The broad emission spectrum of the Pr3+: Ga-Ge-Sb-S fiber from 4 to 5 μm could enable the monitoring of multiple pollutants. In this study, chloroform detection is carried out via a novel technique derived from FEWS. In this way, an infrared sensor was developed, composed of a pumping source in near-IR, a mid-IR detector and a tapered Pr3+: chalcogenide fiber to enhance the detection sensitivity. These results demonstrate for the first time the feasibility of detecting molecules by FEWS using the mid-IR fluorescence emitted by rare earth ions doping chalcogenide fibers. This method is an effective alternative to the classical FEWS system, as RE doped chalcogenide fibers have the advantage of being a compact mid-IR source
