ABSTRACT
We demonstrate the use of plasmonic extraordinary transmission at IR wavelengths for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy in gas sensing.Gas detection was performed through nondispersive (NDIR) absorption.The sensitivity SF 6 is increased around ∼27 times with metal hole array (MHA) microstructures placed on cell mirrors, as compared non-structured mirrors; an change 2% per 100 ppm obtained a standard commercial pyroelectric detector.Down-sizing IR-sensors to sub-1 mm width, delivering ∼ 40 nM (or 1 ppm) sensitivity, can be foreseen simple source-detector setup.
