Abstract

A novel scheme of a laser-based chemical sensor has been examined. The scheme is based on the lasing frequency shift of a DBR laser as a result of refractive index change of the sensitive coating in the presence of chemicals in question. The applicability and advantages of different schemes are discussed. The results of preliminary experiments related to the construction and stability of an external cavity DBR laser and interferometric measurements of refractive index change are presented.
