Abstract

Leaky-mode spectroscopy enhanced with semitransparent metal films may be effectively used for optical gas detection. Most of the optical sensors show a large temperature drift which is detrimental for application purposes. In this paper a model for the compensation of a particular line shift in the leaky-mode spectrum is given and it is confirmed experimentally.
