Zusammenfassung:adOptical time domain reflectometry caused by absorption of a volatile or analyte into the fiber optic cladding is used an optical nose. The fiber optics are covered with a gas permeable film which is patterned to leave millimeter wide gas permeable notches (-). The notches contain a sensing polymer that responds to different gases by expanding or contracting.
