The relationship between the O
2
concentration and the luminescence decay time can be described by the
Stern-Volmer equation:4

SV
= Stern-Volmer constant (the quenching efficiency)
In order to measure this luminescence decay time, the sensing foil is excited with a blue-green light
modulated at 5 kHz.
The decay time is a function of the phase of the received signal.
In the Oxygen Optode the relationship between the phase and the O
2
-concentration is used directly,
without calculating the decay time.
Figure A 3 shows a typical relationship between the phase measurement and O
2
concentration.
