The overall oxygen sensitivity exhibited by an optical sensor is basically predefined by the Stern-Volmer constant Ksv. The sensitivity of the final optical oxygen sensor increases with Ksv [65]. Generally, high Ksv values are provided by the Pd- and Pt-porphyrin complexes, by Ru(dpp)3, and by pyrene. Fluorescence quenching by oxygen not only affects the fluorescence intensity of the dye, but also has an influence on its lifetime r (Fig. 6) ...

Any dye whose fluorescence intensity is quenched by oxygen can be used to construct a fiber-optic oxygen sensor. Commonly used dyes include polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) such as pyrene, fluoranthene, or ben-zoperylene, and organometallic complexes of ruthenium, osmium, palladium, and platinum. Typical polymeric sup-...

Abstract Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is applied to the areodynamics measurement. PSP is optical sensor based on the luminescence of dye probe molecules quenching by oxygen gas. Many PSPs are composed of probe dye molecules, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene, pyrene derivative etc.), transition metal complexes (ruthenium(II), osumium(II), iridium(III) etc.), and metalloporphyrins (platinum (II), palladium(II), etc.) immobilized in oxygen permeable polymer (silicone, polystyrene, fluorinated polymer, cellulose derivative, etc.) film. Dye probe molecules adsorbed layer based PSPs such as pyrene derivative and porphyrins directly adsorbed onto anodic oxidised aluminium plat substrate also developed. In this section the properties of various oxygen permeable polymer for matrix and various dye probes for PSP are described.
