摘要
Developments of an optical-fibre-based sensor system for monitoring residual chlorine in water are discussed. The system, based on differential absorption spectroscopy, utilizes a novel miniature monolithic diode array spectrometer operating in the ultraviolet and visible (UV-Vis) region of the spectrum in combination with an optical flow-through cell of length 430 mm and a computer-controlled deuterium lamp source. The sensor, having a detection limit of 0.2 mg l(-1) of free chlorine in water, relies on the fact that the OCl- ion, in which form dissolved chlorine exists at high pH (> 9), strongly absorbs light at 290 nm. This paper describes the systematic approach that is used in the modelling and design of this sensor system. It also outlines the construction of the device and gives an evaluation of the performance in the laboratory environment.
