Abstract:
The use of optical fibres for the measurement of ozone based on the optical
absorption of both UV light at 254nm and visible light at 600nm is investigated and tested.
Calculations based on the Beer-Lambert Law are also presented to demonstrate the high
resolution of the UV based sensor in determining the concentration of ozone in the range of 0
mg/litre to 1mg/litre and the ability of the visible based sensor to measure high concentrations
over a wide range.
