Department “Photonic Sensor Technology”

The Department of Photonic Sensor Technology deals with a variety of physico-chemical, mostly light-based, analysis techniques in science, environment, and industry. Using optical methods, being inherently fast and non-invasive, measurement data can be recorded quickly, contact-free, and thus non-destructive. For this reason, optical methods are already the basis for analytical investigations in research laboratories in chemistry, medicine, materials science, engineering, and biotechnology. The department sees thus a central challenge in further developing and implementing optical analysis techniques in industrial processes and applications outside of research laboratories.

Numerous problems are so complex that they cannot be answered on the basis of a single optical technique. The Photonic Sensor Technology department therefore develops system solutions that consist of a combination of different optical techniques or a combination of optical techniques with other technologies. Thus, the photonic sensor technology department relies on the development of novel optical measurement methods, mainly based on:

  • Raman spectroscopy
  • IR-absorption spectroscopy
  • Fluorescence

In addition, the department has expertise in a complementary method, the ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), which can also be used in, e.g., trace analysis. Moreover, the department explores the possibility of integrated systems. The studies may include thereby following steps:

  • Sample pretreatment (separation, enrichment)
  • Detection by means of different (optical) sensors
  • Data processing (chemometric data analysis, sensor data fusion).

This enables the Photonic Sensor Technology department to manage complex processes and to develop systems that combine different analytical methods. The main challenges that are thereby tackled are measurement speed, selectivity, and sensitivity.

Environment

Aufgrund des gewachsenen Umweltbewusstseins der Gesellschaft werden neue gesetzliche Vorschriften bezüglich Verwendung und Emission von Schadstoffen und der Vorgabe neuer Grenzwerte erlassen. Diese sind ein Antrieb neue Verfahren für die Vor-Ort-Analytik zu erforschen.

Due to society’s growing environmental awareness, new legal regulations regarding the use and emission of pollutants and the specification of new emission limit values are issued. The latter is a driving force for us to explore new methods for on-site analytics.

In the field of gas analysis, for example, the concentration of carbon dioxide and carbon oxide in exhaust gases as well as volatile organic compounds in industrial production processes are investigated.
The contamination of water with microplastics and pharmaceutical residues as well as soils with polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are further topics with a high socio-economic impact.

Non-dispersive IR-absorption for emission testing

In 2016, there were approximately 13 million gas boilers, 5.6 million oil heating boilers, and 0.7 million boilers for burning solid materials in Germany. Furthermore, there were approximately 11.7 million fireplaces or tile ovens which operated with either wood or coal. The resulting exhaust gases from these combustion processes affect the environment, climate, and health, and therefore are governed by federal regulations, as stated in the Federal Emissions Protection Regulation for small- and medium-sized firing systems.

To control these regulations, a chimney sweep measures the relevant parameters such as carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) every two years. For these monitoring measurements, electrochemical sensors are used, which are liable to frequent inspections as well as heavy wear due to their construction. Furthermore, the greenhouse gas and main combustion product carbon dioxide (CO2) is not detected with electrochemical sensors. Its concentration is determined through CO and O2 measurement, resulting in an error for the calculation of the emission.

The goal of our work in collaboration with Vereta GmbH is the development of an optical sensor that can simultaneously measure the concentration of CO and CO2 in the exhaust gas of a firing system.

Non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy (NDIR) is used as the measurement technique. With the help of the Beer-Lambert law, the concentration of the gases in the exhaust gas flow can be determined. Working at the mid-infrared regime has the advantage of large absorption cross sections and small overlap of the absorption bands of CO2 and CO.

The construction of the optical set-up of the sensor is subject to the constraints of compactness, robustness, as well as low cost. Simultaneously, the system has to match requirements of high measurement accuracy, which requires a high signal-to-noise ratio and, in the case of CO, requires a long absorption distance. This conflict of the demands is a challenge for the development of such sensors.

Microplastics in sewage

In recent years, public attention is increasingly focussed on the topic of microplastic residues in water bodies. The reason for this is that the load on surface waters continues to rise and microplastics are detected in an increasing number of organisms of the food chain, which are also partly used for human consumption. The resulting health risks have not been explored yet. Methods for the enrichment and analysis of microplastic particles are neither standardized nor applicable for on-site analysis.

The aim of our work is the research and development of a practical on-site method for determining the mass of microplastic particles directly on filters. This method of determination is to be used in the monitoring of the effluent of sewage treatment plants.

The Raman method used is based on the scanning of the filter by means of a process Raman device. Therefore, no particles are counted but an average spectrum of all the particles present on the filter and the filter material are generated. The counting of individual particles and the Raman spectroscopic analysis of these particles requires the high apparatus-complexity of a Raman microscope, which is not practical in process analysis. Since the Raman spectrum of the loaded filter contains contribution from the Raman spectra of all substances on the filter and the filter material itself, a mathematical separation is necessary. For this purpose, the mathematical statistical method of partial least squares regression (PLS) is tested. A major challenge still remaining is to analyse and compensate the effects caused by the sample matrix.

Laser-induced fluorescence for PAH determination

Over the last decade, our team developed different versions of a transportable UV-laser-fluorimeter with fibre optical probe for use in environmental and process analysis.

As light source a short-pulse up-converted diode-pumped Nd:YAG-laser with emission at 266 nm is used. The wavelength is perfect for the excitation of mono- (BTXE) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), as well as humic substances, aromatic amino acids and proteins.

Deploying optical waveguides out of quartz, the laser pulse is flexible guided to the measurement place for the excitation and the fluorescent emission is then guided back to the detection unit. Due to the special geometry of the fibres in the probe, the emission is collected efficiently and the entry of directed stray light is minimized.

The detection was implemented in different ways:

Time-dependent sequential, lifetime-resolved detection:

The fluorescence emission is spectrally fragmented and the spectra are detected at different times after the excitation pulse is emitted with a gated, intensified CCD-camera. Out of the obtained data, the spectrometer software builds up an emission-decay-spectrum.

Wavelength-dependent sequential, lifetime-resolved detection:

By applying a monochromator, a single emission wavelength can be chosen for which a high temporal resolved fluorescence decay curve can be detected. This is possible in deploying a time-correlated single photon counting technique. Out of several decay curves the software builds up an emission-decay-spectrum.

Integral fluorescence detection:

In combination with a diode line or CCD line array, the full fluorescence emission spectrum can be obtained. This setup is used, if the fluorescence decay times in the application are shorter than the decay of the instrument response function.

The control of all system versions is implemented with a self-developed spectrometer software. Furthermore, with this software a qualitative and quantitative data evaluation is feasible that ranges from simple linear one-component-regression over decay-time analysis to complex multi-component-analysis by deploying chemometric methods.

For feasibility studies the laserfluorimeters are placed at interested party’s disposal.

Energy

The research of energy conversion processes has been studied at the Laser Laboratory since its founding. Imaging techniques such as laser-induced fluorescence are used for mixture analysis of fuels inside the combustion chamber of internal combustion engines. A spark plug sensor based on non-dispersive IR absorption has been intensively investigated and developed further.

With it the concentration of liquid and gaseous fuel at the location of the spark plug can be determined. In addition to propulsion systems based on fossil fuels, the department is also engaged in the research of Li-ion batteries based on optical technologies.

Exhaust gas sensor for IC engines

A new European Union (EU) regulation on the control of CO2 emissions requires reducing the average emissions of new cars below 95 g/km by 2021. The use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as fuel allows significant reduction of the CO2 emissions and thus achieves the goal set by the EU.

The development of efficient and low-emission CNG-engines is a new challenge since the physical properties of CNG differ significantly from those of conventional liquid gasoline. This directly influences the mixture formation and the combustion process. Therefore, the time-resolved (100 μs) acquisition of data on the gas density of each substance (methane, water and carbon dioxide) involved in a motorcycle of a typical four-stroke engine is urgently required.

The department Photonic Sensor Technology established a collaboration with the Institute for Com-bustion and Gasdynamics Duisburg and the companies LaVision GmbH and Volkswagen AG on the solution to this problem in the OMeGa-E project ending in mid-2017.

During former projects, a spark-plug sensor based on IR-absorption to measure mixture formation in the combustion chamber of an engine was developed together with LaVision. This sensor was further developed in the OMeGa-E project for use with CNG air mixtures.

The results on a test engine at Volkswagen and a rapid compression machine at University Erlangen showed the functionality of the developed ICOS system. Based on this successful development, a commercial sensor is produced and sold by LaVision, with which CNG engines can be optimized and hence be manufactured more environmentally friendly.

Measuring the density of CO2 and the lambda value together with pressure and temperature during an engine cycle give the possibility of an extensive analysis of the mixture formation. (source: LaVision GmbH)

Life Science

Life sciences are research directions that deal with processes or structures of living beings or in which living things are involved. For the department, the study of methods for medical diagnosis, the monitoring of biotechnological processes, and food research are the main fields of interest. In this respect, microfluidics as a sample preparation technology has proven to be effective. Here, a miniaturized free-flow electrophoresis chip for the separation of proteins with an optical read-out mechanism was explored.

Furthermore, a lateral flow test for veterinary medicine is being investigated. With it, cytokine detection in very low quantities is possible. The test is thereby based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. In the field of medical technology, we investigate the possibilities of a photonic sensor for the monitoring of infusion solutions on patients.

Inactivation of microorganisms on bulk materials

Manufacturers and suppliers of natural-based herbs, teas and spices, i.e. so-called organic products, often struggle with contamination from tiny or microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria or mites. These undesirable organisms damage the quality of the products and represent a health risk for the end customer as well as a reduction in shelf life. This is particularly true if multiplication occurs. Reducing these organisms can help. The methods used so far, such as steam or CO2 treatment, are inadequate or not suitable. Compatible with natural raw materials is inactivation by UV light or the still little-researched use of plasmas. The reaction mechanisms that result from such inactivation in connection with organic substances are partly known, but the specific impact on the products is not. This is where a project comes into play in which the IFNANO is responsible for examining such bioproducts before and after the microorganisms are deactivated by plasma or UV radiation. Gas chromatographic techniques will be used, as well as semiconductor sensors that can describe the outgassing behavior of the bioproducts. In addition, photographic processes including hyperspectral analysis should be used.

The work on this topic is co-financed by the state of Lower Saxony and supported by the European Union within the framework of an innovation project, for which we would like to thank you. The innovation project began on August 1, 2023 and will last 3 years. Funding as part of the European Innovation Partnership Agri supports cooperative innovation projects that provide impetus for a competitive, sustainable food industry. The aim is to promote innovation and improve the exchange of knowledge between science and agricultural practice.

Miniturized chip for free-flow-electrophoresis

For the detection and quantitative analysis of liquid mixture ingredients, for monitoring chemical and biological production and purification processes as well as for analytical procedures in medical diagnostics, the department Photonic Sensor Technology has developed a continuous online analysis and monitoring process. The current focus lies in the monitoring of protein production for pharmaceutical applications.

The method is based on the coupling of free-flow electrophoresis (µFFE), in which the components of a complex liquid mixture are separated, and an optical detection system, such as fluorescence or surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The detection system is highly sensitive and is used for the identification of the different molecular species being separated and enriched by µFFE.

The miniaturization of the FFE system has some advantages. In particular, μFFE-systems require only a few nanoliters to microliters of a sample, which makes the application in clinical analysis or protein production, where only small amounts of samples are available, particularly interesting. Another important advantage of miniaturization is the avoidance of heating due to the otherwise occurring high electrical currents. The chip is produced and sold by microfluidic ChipShop.

Security and Process control

The objective of our research in the security sector is to protect people from the threats of natural disasters, major accidents, and terrorism. In the field of safety engineering, we are investigating new detection methods for explosives, thus making controls at, e.g., airports more reliable and effective. Another challenge is the chemical assessment of the state of health of ammunition in the sea.

Process control requires fast, non-destructive, selective, and sensitive measurement procedures. The processes should be robust, low-maintenance, and inexpensive. Optical methods are in principle very well suited for this.

Examples of this are the determination of moisture in matrices such as coffee using near-infrared spectroscopy and chemometry and the development of a device for the quantification of bitter substances in beers by means of absorbance measurement. These requirements are also met by ion mobility spectrometry, which has been researched and implemented for the monitoring of formaldehyde concentration in the production of wood-based materials.

Detection of explosives

Explosive detection is an actual and pressing issue. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy enables rapid, faultless detection of different classes of explosives including triacetone triperoxide (TATP). This explosive was, for example, used in the attacks in Paris in November 2015.

Traces of explosives on clothing or luggage are picked up with a fleece by means of the so-called wiping test. The fleece is heated to analyse the vaporizable components. The low amounts of the substances are a great challenge for Raman spectroscopy, which is as characteristic as a fingerprint.

The principle of thermal deposition is used to gather the explosive molecules on the plasmonic substrate. For this purpose, the nanostructured surface is located on a cooling finger. On to this, the substances to be analyzed, which have been baked out of the fleece by means of the thermal desorption unit, are redeposited in a minimal area. This process is also referred to as cryofocusing.
