Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0179819A1] The invention relates to an opto-electronic sensor which is configured on the basis of optodes and which allows almost infinite coupling angles of the light passing into the optode material by means of a mirrored (5) optode material (4). This has the advantage of achieving a longer optical path than that obtained by total reflection, thus attaining greater measuring precision. The inventive optode material (4) is a polymer, in which the mirrored surface (5) is produced by metallic particles infused into said polymer. The opto-transmitter (1) and the photo-sensitive sensors (6) are an LED and photodiodes respectively. Various opto-electronic sensors can be combined in a gas sensor array.
