Sensors placed at each focal point of two elliptical waveguides were fabricated to yield two module combinations and to verify the output characteristics. A thin Parylene-C film was deposited onto the reflector surfaces of one module. The thermal properties were compared between the sensor (2.0 \u00d8) and sensor with a hollow disk (1.6 \u00d8), the disk being mounted at the end of one detector. The fabricated sensor modules were placed inside a gas chamber. The temperature was increased from 253 K to 333 K, over the concentration range from 0 to 500 ppm. As the temperature increases by 10 K, the output of sensor (2.0 \u00d8) without and with Parylene-C coating typically increased by 70 mV and 52 mV, respectively. However, the sensor output with the hollow disk showed an average decrement of 0.8 mV\/50 ppm and 1 mV\/50 ppm for module without and with Parylene-C deposition, respectively. For concentrations higher than 50 ppm, the estimation error was around \u00b15%. Further, the sensitivity to temperature variation and the absorbance of infrared (IR) reflection was found higher for Parylene-C coated module.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18092911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,3]],"date-time":"2018-09-03T10:50:51Z","timestamp":1535971851000},"page":"2911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Characteristics and Temperature Compensation of Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Alcohol Gas Sensors According to Incident Light Intensity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Humaira","family":"Hussain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Control &amp; Instrumentation Engineering, Korea National University of Transportation (KNUT), 50 Daehakro, Chungjushi, Chungbuk 27469, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9287-6533","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"JinHo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Korea National University of Transportation (KNUT), 50 Daehakro, Chungjushi, Chungbuk 27469, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9363-9353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"SeungHwan","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Korea National University of Transportation (KNUT), 50 Daehakro, Chungjushi, Chungbuk 27469, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"266","DOI":"10.1080\/15389580214623","article-title":"Effectiveness of Sobriety Checkpoints for Reducing Alcohol-Involved Crashes","volume":"3","author":"Elder","year":"2002","journal-title":"Traffic Inj.
