A Liquid-Core Waveguide (LCW) detection system for high sensitive determination of tegaful (FT) was developed. In this system the LCW cell was connected to the end of a hollow cathode lump and the other end to a UV spectrometer. A sample solution containing FT was pumped to the LCW cell through a T-shaped connector. A UV absorption of analyte was detected by the UV spectrometer. The configuration of connectors of LCW cell to the light source and the UV detector was designed. Stable and high responses of FT were obtained in a double tube system in which an edge of LCW cell was covered with another tube with large diameter was set in the T-connector. It was found that the UV absorption response of FT obtained in this LCW system depends on the core length and the concentration of FT. The sensitivity of FT obtained by using 65 cm of the LCW cell length was 10-fold higher than that of using 1 cm cell which was often used with a conventional UV-visible detector.

Several gas molecules of environmental and domestic significance exhibit a strong deep-UV absorption. Therefore, a sensitive and a selective gas detector based on this unique molecular property (i.e., absorption at a specific wavelength) can be developed using deep-UV absorption spectrophotometry. UV absorption spectrometry provides a highly sensitive, reliable, self-referenced, and selective approach for gas sensing. This review article addresses the recent progress in the application of deep-UV absorption for gas sensing owing to its inherent features and tremendous potentials. Applications, advancements, and challenges related to UV emission sources, gas cells, and UV photodetectors are assessed and compared. We present the relevant theoretical aspects and challenges associated with the development of portable sensitive spectrophotometer. Finally, the applications of UV absorption spectrometry for ozone, NO2, SO2, and aromatic organic compounds during the last decades are discussed and compared. A portable UV absorption spectrophotometer can be developed by using LEDs, hollow core waveguides (HCW), and UV photodetectors (i.e., photodiodes). LED provides a portable UV emission source with low power input, low-intensity drifts, low cost, and ease of alignment. It is a quasi-chromatic UV source and covers the absorption band of molecules without optical filters for absorbance measurement of a target analyte. HCWs can be applied as a miniature gas cell for guiding UV radiation for measurement of low gas concentrations. Photodiodes, on the other hand, offer a portable UV photodetector with excellent spectral selectivity with visible rejection, minimal dark current, linearity, and resistance against UV-aging.
