Hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride photonic crystals for improved-performance surface electromagnetic wave biosensors
We exploit the properties of surface electromagnetic waves propagating at the surface of finite one dimensional photonic crystals to improve the performance of optical biosensors with respect to the standard surface plasmon resonance approach. We demonstrate that the hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride technology is a versatile platform for fabricating one dimensional photonic crystals with ...
متن کاملBloch Surface Based Platform for Optical Integration
A novel dielectric multilayer platform sustaining Bloch surface waves is investigated for integrated photonic chips. These surface waves can be manipulated by two dimensional dielectric optical components patterned on top of the platform. We study the properties of high refractive index materials (TiO2) as active top layer of platform. Concept The Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are surface electrom...
متن کاملInvestigation of Surface Electromagnetic Waves with Multi-Heterodyne Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy
In this thesis, we present the development of a tunable Multi-Heterodyne Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope (MH-SNOM). This instrument has been built and evaluated for the investigation of optical near fields in amplitude, phase and polarization. With this microscope, the response of a structure illuminated with two orthogonally polarized beams can be simultaneously measured both in amplitu...

Background: The periodic dielectric multilayers sustaining Bloch surface waves have been proposed as a platform for the sensing applications and the two dimensional integrated optics. In this paper, we present the experimental and theoretical investigation of propagation properties of Bloch surface waves, for example propagation length and refractive index of the surface mode, at the interface ...
متن کاملNear Field Investigation of Bloch Surface Based Platform for 2D Integrated Optics
Dielectric multilayers sustaining Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are considered as a novel platform for two dimensional (2D) integrated optics. The dielectric platform is exploited to manipulate surface waves by patterning 2D dielectric optical components on top of it. BSW shows a potential of higher propagation length and large resonance strength because of low loss characteristics of dielectric m...
