Sensitivity Analysis of an Optical Interferometric Surface Stress Ethanol Gas Sensor with a Freestanding Nanosheet.

Ethanol (EtOH) gas detection has garnered considerable attention owing to its wide range of applications in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, medical diagnostics, and fuel management. The development of highly sensitive EtOH-gas sensors has become a focus of research. This study proposes an optical interferometric surface stress sensor for detecting EtOH gas.
