Abstract
It is developed and experimentally investigated the waveguide optical chemical absorption-type sensor based on waveguide structure being
formed on the substrate of lithium niobate Y-cut to control the level of gaseous substances, particularly ammonia. Design of the sensor with the threshold of sensitivity significantly below 0.2 mg/m3is offered. This problem is promising for effective detection of a number of gases critically important for human safety.
