摘要

We report the detection of 100 ppm of butane in superatmospheric N-2 or air with an m-lines setup. The sensing elements are ZnO-nanostructured coatings prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The deposition technique was optimized to obtain highly transparent films of 1 cm(2) in area and several hundreds nanometer thick. ZnO structures preserve gas sensitivity even when deposited at room temperature. Refractive index variations down to 0.005 were detected and typical variations of about 20% were induced during ZnO film-butane contact.
