title: Gas sensors based on superluminescent diodes for combustion monitoring.
abstract: Application of fiber-coupled superluminescent diodes with a wideband optical source for the detection of various gases is reported. Superluminescent diodes with two different wavelengths around 760 and 1530 nm are used for O(2) and NH(3) gas sensing, respectively. The technique allows multiple-gas sensing for combustion monitoring.
