“…The hydrogen absorption by the Pd film alters the propagation constant of the Surface Plasmon (SP). To improve the sensitivity of the SPR sensor and to be able to develop compact devices, new designs based on multimode fiber sensor [14,15] . These sensors consisted of a Pd layer deposited on the core of the optical fiber after removing a part of the cladding [14,15].…”

Abstract:We report for the first time on the experimental response of a Surface Plasmon Resonance fiber optic sensor based on wavelength modulation for hydrogen sensing. This approach of measuring the hydrogen concentration makes the sensor insensitive to intensity fluctuations. The intrinsic fiber sensor developed provides remote sensing and enables the possibility of multi-points sensing. The sensor consists of a multilayer of 35 nm Au / 180 nm SiO 2 / Pd deposited on a step-index multimode fiber core. The sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor are optimal at a Pd thickness of 3.75 nm. The sensor is sensitive to a hydrogen concentration ranging between 0.5 and 4% H 2 in Ar, with a response time less than 15 s.

Abstract:A new design of a fiber optic Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensor using Palladium as a sensitive layer for hydrogen detection is presented. In this approach, a transducer layer is deposited on the outside of a multimode fiber, after removing the optical cladding. The transducer layer is a multilayer stack made of a Silver, a Silica and a Palladium layer. The spectral modulation of the light transmitted by the fiber allows to detect the presence of hydrogen in the environment. The sensor is only sensitive to the Transverse Magnetic polarized light and the Traverse Electric polarized light can be used therefore as a reference signal. A more reliable response is expected for the fiber SPR hydrogen sensor based on spectral modulation instead of on intensity modulation. The multilayer thickness defines the sensor performance. The silica thickness tunes the resonant wavelength, whereas the Silver and Palladium thickness determine the sensor sensitivity. In an optimal configuration (NA = 0.22, 100 μm core radius and transducer length = 1 cm), the resonant wavelength is shifted over 17.6 nm at a concentration of 4% Hydrogen in Argon for the case of the 35 nm Silver/ 100 nm Silica/ 3 nm palladium multilayer.

“…Bevenot et al used SPR for the fi rst time for hydrogen sensing, 43 which was based on Chadwick's demonstration of the SPR effect in thin Pd layers. 44 In Bevenot's study, the hydrogen concentration is detected by measuring the change in intensity of light transmitted through an optical fi ber for a specifi c light input angle and wavelength.…”

The hydrogenation of metals often leads to changes in optical properties in the visible range. This allows for fundamental studies of the hydrogenation process, as well as the exploration of various applications using these optical effects. Here, we focus on recent developments in metal hydride-based optical fi ber and plasmonic sensors and smart windows. Both applications benefi t from the existence of a refl ective metallic state, which is lost on hydrogenation and allows for large reversible optical changes. In this article, we review the status of both technologies and their prospects for applications.
