Abstract

An optical fibre based exhaust gas sensor has been developed from low-cost mid-infrared components which is capable of detecting carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from both diesel and petrol engines. The optical fibre sensor is not cross sensitive to other gaseous species in the exhaust such as water vapour (H₂O), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NO_x) or oxides of sulphur (SO_x). Initial tests of this sensor on a modern diesel engine are outlined in this paper.
