Description
Summary:Holographic sensing of organic vapor is characterized at transmission and reflection geometries in ZSM-5 nanozeolites dispersed acrylamide photopolymer. Nano-zeolites as absorption medium are dispersed into the polymer to enhance the absorptivity to organic vapor. Obvious enhancements of spectrum strength are observed during the sensing process. Two primary factors causing the enhancement, absorption of nanozeolites and photopolymerization induced by broadband white light, are analyzed experimentally. Significant increment provides a quick and intuitive identification strategy for holographic sensing. Accompanying with the wavelength blue-shift, the shrinkage of sample is measured quantitatively under homogeneous white light. It is further demonstrated that the significance of nanozeolites absorption. Finally a theoretical model with mutual diffusion is used to simulate the swelling process. This study provides significant foundation for the application of holographic sensor.
