Es wird ein Kraftfahrzeug-Brennstoffzellensystem mit einem integrierten optischen Verunreinigungsdetektionsmechanismus vorgestellt. Das Kraftfahrzeug-Brennstoffzellensystem beinhaltet eine Brennstoffzelle, die mit einem Wasserstoffgas-Einlassrohr mit einem optischen Koppler verbunden ist. Ein Laser ist dazu konfiguriert, einen Lichtstrahl zu erzeugen, der durch eine Linse durch den optischen Koppler hindurch und in das Wasserstoff-Gaseinlassrohr fokussiert wird. Verunreinigungen, die durch das Wasserstoffgas-Einlassrohr strömen, emittieren Licht zurück durch den optischen Koppler und die Linse, wodurch die Detektion und die Überwachung dieser Verunreinigungen ermöglicht werden.
