Abstract
A sensor based on luminescence has been prepared depositing the luminescent complex platinum tetrakis pentrafluorophenyporphine (PtTFPP) onto a plastic-clad silica (PCS) optical fiber. The sensing film is constructed in terms of Layer-by-Layer method. A LED centered at 400 nm was used to interrogate the sensor in a reflection configuration, registering a luminescent signal from the sensing material located at 648 nm. The transduction principle is based on the quenching suffered by PtTFPP as the oxygen (O2) concentration increases. The sensor was characterized for O2 concentrations from 0% to 75%, showing a linear Stern-Volmer relationship (R2 = 0.9962).
