Integrated-optical directional coupler biosensor.
We present measurements of biomolecular binding reactions, using a new type of integrated-optical biosensor based on a planar directional coupler structure. The device is fabricated by Ag(+) - Na(+) ion exchange in glass, and definition of the sensing region is achieved by use of transparent fluoropolymer isolation layers formed by thermal evaporation. The suitability of the sensor for applicat...
متن کاملBroadband terahertz fiber directional coupler.
We present the design of a short broadband fiber directional coupler for terahertz (THz) radiation and demonstrate a 3 dB coupler with a bandwidth of 0.6 THz centered at 1.4 THz. The broadband coupling is achieved by mechanically downdoping the cores of a dual-core photonic crystal fiber by microstructuring the cores. This is equivalent to chemical downdoping but is easier to realize experiment...
متن کاملA Split-Block Waveguide Directional Coupler
A simple waveguide directional coupler is described which uses the split-block type of construction common in millimeter-wave components. The coupler uses an array of metal probes suspended on quartz stand-offs. Depending on the number of coupling elements, the coupling can be in the range 15-30 dB, with typically ± 2 dB variation across the waveguide band, and directivity > 10 dB. The coupler,...
متن کاملNonlinear directional coupler for polychromatic light.
We demonstrate that a nonlinear directional coupler with special bending of waveguide axes can be used for all-optical switching of polychromatic light with a very broad spectrum covering all of the visible region. The bandwidth of the suggested device is enhanced five times compared with conventional couplers. Our results suggest novel opportunities for the creation of all-optical logical gate...
متن کاملReconfigurable nanoscale spin-wave directional coupler
Spin waves, and their quanta magnons, are prospective data carriers in future signal processing systems because Gilbert damping associated with the spin-wave propagation can be made substantially lower than the Joule heat losses in electronic devices. Although individual spin-wave signal processing devices have been successfully developed, the challenging contemporary problem is the formation o...
