Non-Invasive Determination of Blood Glucose Levels by Optical Waveguide

Objective: Today, there are various non-invasive techniques available for the determination of blood glucose levels. In this study, the level of blood glucose was determined by developing a new device using near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, glass optical waveguide, and the phenomenon of evanescent waves. Materials and Methods: The body's interstitial fluid has made possible the development of ne...

Design of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks

This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...

Multifunctional Optical Waveguide Chips

Based on polymeric materials, the possibilities of monolithic integration of various optical waveguide components are discussed and, especially, the efforts to realize the functions of optical modulation and amplification on a single optical chip are made. Exploration of more capabilities of optical waveguides is also emphasized. The work on exploring functions of optical waveguides for the app...

Capped Optical Polymeric Waveguide

We present here a new type of polymer waveguides (i.e., capped waveguide) fabricated using contact photolithography with considerable performance improvement over the conventional waveguides. We also show that by simultaneous patterning of the core and the top cladding in capped waveguides, we can considerably reduce the effect of fabrication defects and reduce the propagation lose by at least ...
