Abstract:MOEMS gas sensing technology is an innovative technological solution for optical gas sen-sing techniques combined with MOEMS technology and new materials.MOEMS gas sensor has many adv-antages such as lower cost, higher integration, stronger anti-interference, higher test accuracy and so on. This paper firstly introduced the structure and working principle of primary optical gas sensing systems.Su-bsequently, the latest microoptical devices and microoptical system achievements in MOEMS gas sensing technology are introduced.Take the current research status of the MOEMS gas sensing devices as clue, ch-allenges and priorities of MOEMS gas sensor are discussed.
