چکیده
We designed an arrayed-waveguide grating spectrometer for the detection of early dental caries in teeth through polarized Raman spectroscopy. Measurement results on extracted human teeth demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. (Abstract) Keywords-component; Raman spectroscopy; integrated optics;

Raman spectroscopy of human teeth using integrated optical spectrometers
We have designed an arrayed-waveguide grating in silicon oxynitride technology for the detection of Raman signals from tooth enamel in the spectral region between 890 nm and 912 nm. The detected signals for both parallel and cross polarizations are used to distinguish between healthy and carious regions on the tooth surface of extracted human teeth. Our experimental results are in very good agr...
متن کاملIntegrated AWG Spectrometer for On-chip Optical Coherence Tomography and Raman Spectroscopy
Silicon oxynitride-based arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) spectrometers were designed for on-chip spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems and Raman spectroscopy of the skin. A novel geometrical layout for Raman spectroscopy was introduced to reduce loss. Measurements show that integrated optics has a good potential for miniaturizing current OCT systems. Keywords-arrayed wavegu...
متن کاملDesign 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...
متن کاملArrayed-waveguide-grating light collector for on-chip spectroscopy
We present a novel arrayed-waveguide-grating (AWG) device with improved external (biomedical) signal collection for use in on-chip spectroscopy. The collection efficiency of the device is compared to that of a standard AWG. We also present experimental results on the collection efficiency and size of the collection volume.

متن کاملPolarization-Independent Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry with a Non-Birefringent Arrayed- Waveguide Grating
The polarization dependency of an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) in an optical low-coherence reflectometry system is investigated. For mixed polarization, signal fading is observed at specific depths. This fading is eliminated by using a nonbirefringent AWG.
