Optimization of All-Polymer Optical Fiber Oxygen Sensors with Antenna Dyes and Improved Solvent Selection Using Hansen Solubility Parameters
We present an all-polymer optical fiber sensor for the sensing of dissolved oxygen by phase-fluorometry. The sensing matrix is applied as a film on the fiber end-surface, and consists of poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA), the oxygen quenchable luminophore platinum-octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) and the lum...

| description | We present an all-polymer optical fiber sensor for the sensing of dissolved oxygen by phase-fluorometry. The sensing matrix is applied as a film on the fiber end-surface, and consists of poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA), the oxygen quenchable luminophore platinum-octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) and the luminophore coumarin 545T for increasing the brightness of PtOEP by way of resonance energy transfer (RET), also called light harvesting. We show that by using Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSPs), it is possible to quantitatively formulate a solvent mixture with a good solubility of the polymer matrix and the luminophores simultaneously. Our approach can readily be extended to other polymers and luminophores and is therefore a valuable tool for researchers working with photoluminescence and polymeric matrices. |
