Hydrogen detection is of great interest in many fields such as hydrogen concentrations around the explosive limit of 4%
or in areas where strong electrical fields are present. Optical sensors have the advantage that they are not affected by
these conditions. A comparison of three thin film sensors made of Pd, Pd Ni and Pd Ni / PTFE to detect H2 is made. The
double-sided samples are purpose built by plasma sputtering, with a thickness of 4nm on each side. It is shown that the
signal of a pure Pd deposit is strong but it cannot resist higher H2 concentrations. The Pd Ni deposit has shown good
results and is able to resolve even higher concentrations of 10% H2 but cannot resist high concentrations of H2 over many
cycles. The new Pd Ni / PTFE deposit can be used many times for concentrations up to 100% without any damage and
can detect concentrations of 1-100% of H2. Furthermore the response time for deposits of different thickness is tested.
