Multifunctional Nanowire Evanescent Wave Optical Sensors
Compact, reusable chemical sensors are highly desirable for on-site detection in the field, including the identification of water contaminants, hazardous biochemical compounds, or blood serum content. Ideally, such a sensing platform should be portable, and employ several complementary sensing modalities that allow quantitative chemical identification of extremely small sample volumes. Optical ...
متن کاملNormalized Analysis for the Sensitivity Optimization of Integrated Optical Evanescent-Wave Sensors - Lightwave Technology, Journal of
Closed-form analytical expressions and normalized charts provide the conditions for the maximum sensitivity of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) evanescent-wave step-index waveguide sensors. The analysis covers both cases where the measurand is homogeneously distributed in the semi-infinite waveguide cover, and where it is an ultrathin film at the waveguide-cover interface.
متن کاملOptical Slot-Waveguide Based Biochemical Sensors
Slot-waveguides allow light to be guided and strongly confined inside a nanometer-scale region of low refractive index. Thus stronger light-analyte interaction can be obtained as compared to that achievable by a conventional waveguide, in which the propagating beam is confined to the high-refractive-index core of the waveguide. In addition, slot-waveguides can be fabricated by employing CMOS co...
متن کاملMultilayer ARROW channel waveguide for evanescent field enhancement in low-index media.
A multilayer antiresonance reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) channel waveguide geometry, believed to be novel, is proposed for enhancing the evanescent field in low-index materials. The finite-difference method is used in the analysis of the structure. The fraction of the fundamental TE-like-mode power in the low-index material (air) is used as a measure of the evanescent field enhancement. ...
متن کاملWaveguide coupling gratings for high-sensitivity bioch!emical sensors
Grating coupling is now currently used in evanescent-wave biochemical sensors as a waveguide coupling element or as the sensing element. In most coupling cases of practical interest, the Rayleigh-Fourier method is valid, and leads to physically meaningful analytical solutions allowing grating coupling to be designed in simple terms. In the present paper the emphasis is placed on the grating as ...
