Multipath trapping dynamics of nanoparticles towards an integrated waveguide with a high index contrast
Optical trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles in integrated photonics devices have recently received increasingly more attention and greatly facilitated the advances in lab-on-chip technologies. In this work, by solving motion equation numerically, we study the trapping dynamics of a nanoparticle near a high-index-contrast slot waveguide, under the influence of water flow perpendicular to ...
متن کاملPlastic Optical Fiber Coupler with High Index Contrast Waveguide Taper
A simple low-cost Y-branch plastic optical fiber (POF) coupler which can be assembled easily by the end users has been developed. The acrylic-based Y-Branch POF coupler consists of input POF fiber, a middle high index contrast waveguide taper and output POF fibers. The optical device is based on a 1 × 2 Y-branch coupler design with a middle high index contrast waveguide taper. Nonsequential ray...
متن کاملDesign of a High Index Contrast Arrayed Waveguide Grating
Arrayed waveguide gratings are useful structures for the implementation of wavelength division multiplexing; however, in their current form, silica-based gratings are too large to be made cheaply or to use as an integrated component. This paper describes a Master of Engineering thesis which will attempt to design such a structure which is at least one order of magnitude smaller than the best on...
متن کاملPlanar waveguide-coupled, high-index-contrast, high-Q resonators in chalcogenide glass for sensing.
High-index-contrast compact microdisk resonators in thermally evaporated As2S3 and Ge17Sb12S71 chalcogenide glass films are designed and fabricated using standard UV lithography and characterized. Our pulley coupler configuration demonstrates coupling of the resonators to monolithically integrated photonic wire waveguides without resorting to demanding fine-line lithography. Microdisk resonator...
متن کاملIntegrated Biophotonics with CYTOP
We describe how the amorphous fluoropolymer CYTOP can be advantageously used as a waveguide cladding material in integrated optical circuits suitable for applications in integrated biophotonics. The unique refractive index of CYTOP (n = 1.34) enables the cladding material to be well index-matched to an optically probed sample solution. Furthermore, ultra-high index contrast waveguides can be fa...
