National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract	A reflection mode fiber optic oxygen sensor that can operate at high temperatures for power plant applications has been developed. The sensor is based on the 3O2 quenching of the red emission from hexanuclear molybdenum chloride clusters. We report on a fiber optic technique for detection of gas phase oxygen up to 100 degrees C based on the 3O2 quenching of the luminescence from molybdenum chloride clusters, K2Mo6Cl14. The inorganic sensing film is a composite of sol-gel particles embedded in a thin, oxygen permeable sol-gel binder. The particles are comprised of thermally stable, luminescent K2Mo6Cl14 clusters dispersed in a fully equilibrated sol-gel matrix. From 40 to 100 DGC, the fiber sensor switches 6OE in intensity in response to alternating pulses of <0.001% O2 and 21% O2 between two well defined levels with a response time of 10 s.
