Embodiment

[0063] 1. Preparation of side-polished optical fiber

[0064] A single-mode optical fiber with a core diameter of 9 μm and a cladding diameter of 12 μm was used to polish a 15 mm section of the optical fiber by the wheel polishing method until it was close to the core. The grinding depth was monitored by a filament measuring instrument. Dip the optical fiber into a test tube filled with alcohol, and clean it with an ultrasonic cleaner to ensure that the surface of the area before coating the film is clean. The prepared side-polished optical fiber is as follows: figure 1 shown.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sensors, and in particular relates to a graphene-based optical fiber methane sensor and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] Methane is widely distributed in nature. Methane is the simplest organic substance and the main component of natural gas, biogas, pit gas, etc., commonly known as gas. It is also the hydrocarbon with the smallest carbon content (the largest hydrogen content), and is also the main component of natural gas, biogas, oilfield gas and coal mine tunnel gas. It can be used as a fuel and a raw material for the production of hydrogen, carbon black, carbon monoxide, acetylene, hydrocyanic acid and formaldehyde. [0003] Methane is a greenhouse gas. GWP's analysis shows that methane's greenhouse effect is 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide in terms of the number of molecules. This is because there is already so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that many bands o...
