Profiling the evanescent field of nanofiber waveguides using self-assembled polymer coatings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we demonstrate a facile method of quantifying the decaying optical field surrounding free-standing tin dioxide (SnO(2)) nanofiber waveguides. Through the use of thin self-assembled polyelectrolyte coatings and fluorescent optical transmitters we map out the optical intensity as a function of distance with nanometer resolution.

Figure 1: (A) A standard waveguide ring resonator contains its electromagnetic energy in the waveguides core. Depending on the characteristics of the resonator, specific wavelengths are stored in the ring and not transmitted. (B) When biomolecules are present in the surrounding solution, the evanescent field of the waveguide interacts and the effective refractive index of the resonator changes,...

متن کاملOptimisation of Polymer Particles Propulsion on Caesium Ion-exchanged Channel Waveguide for Stem Cells Sorting Applications
Optical trapping of particles has become a powerful non-mechanical and non-destructive technique for precise particle positioning. The manipulation of particles in the evanescent field of a channel waveguide potentially allows for sorting and trapping of several particles and cells simultaneously. This paper describes the studies carried out, both theoretically and experimentally, to optimise t...
متن کاملPorous Polymer Waveguides and Ring Resonators CNF
Label-free optical biosensors are particularly interesting because of their ability to tightly confine light while avoiding complications often associated with label dependent detection. However, many traditional optical biosensors often store the majority of their optical energy in the waveguide core, leaving only the evanescent field to interact with biomolecules. In this work we develop nano...
