Towards fiber optic chemical sensors for 1,3-butadiene detection in Titan's hydrocarbon lakes
The demonstration of the solid-state functionality of the indicator marks the last step towards its integration with space-qualified instrumentation. This proof-of-principle detection of 1,3-butadiene highlights the potential of fluorescence sensing for probing exotic planetary environments. Fiber optic architectures are ideal platforms for adapting fluorescence-based chemical sensing strategies to the in-situ characterization of extraterrestrial sites.
