Swelling Sensor Detects Toxic Gas
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 17, 2014 — Those who work with hazardous substances could find an extra measure of protection in an optical sensor that puffs up in the presence of even trace amounts of toxic gases. Made from a 400-nm-thick film of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), the sensors are infused with fluorescent dye and patterned with 1-D photonic crystal cavities suspended in air. Certain gases cause the PMMA to swell, changing the optical resonance of the cavities and producing minute color changes in the polymer
