摘要
A dissolved oxygen （DO） sensor based on U-shape plastic optical fiber （POF） and dichlorotris （1, 10- phenanthroline） ruthenium （[Ru（dpp）^3]^2＋） as an oxygen indicator was described. Fluorescence intensity and lifetime were measured when the sensor was soaked into a water bath blasted with air with varied O2/N2 ratios. The influence of Ru concentration, annealing time and U-shaped POF curve radius on the system sensitivity was also studied. A two-layer model was proposed to analyze the deviation from linear relation described by Stern-Volmer equation, and to explain the deviation and the dependence of the fluorescence on curvature of U-shape POF. By fitting the experimentally measured sub-linear relation of τ0/τ ratio versus oxygen concentration, the proportion of effectively sensitive layer and the Stern-Volmer coefficient can be evaluated to be f = 0.59 and Ksv = 0.61 typically.
