Design
The optical oxygen sensor 3085-O2 for gas measurements contains a sensor, which is based on luminescence quenching of a sensor dye. Molecular oxygen reversibly quenches the luminescence. This principle is very robust, has a very low drift and has virtually no interferences to other gases. Optics and electronics are sealed from the measured gas. Typically, the factory calibration is sufficient during lifetime of the sensor. The signal is temperature compensated.
