The paper presents the results of investigations concerning sensor structures based on porous layers of zinc oxide (ZnO) sensitive to a selected gaseous environment. The investigations comprised analyses of the influence of the gaseous environment on the optical properties of a sensor structure, in particularly on the change of the spectral characteristics of optical transmission within the range of ultraviolet light and in the visible range. These presented investigations were carried out in such a gaseous environment as nitrogen dioxide NO2 in synthetic air. |
