基于太赫兹超材料的微流体折射率传感器

太赫兹生物医学是目前光谱研究领域的热点,其主要难点在于如何有效避免水分的干扰,进行液相环境下样本的灵敏分析与检测。超材料太赫兹传感器由于具有高灵敏、快速检测、痕量分析等优势,而成为太赫兹生物医学传感领域的重要研究方法。设计加工了一种基于单开口谐振环超材料的太赫兹液相传感芯片,为了有效克服水对太赫兹波的强烈吸收,利用微纳加工技术刻蚀深度为50 μm的流体通道。传感芯片整合了超材料基底与PDMS流道,在THz频段有两个位于0.771和2.129 THz的谐振峰。以水、无水乙醇作为常见化学溶剂进行传感实验,相对于空白传感器本身的THz时域谱而言,液体的加入导致时域峰的相位延迟和幅度减小。同时,由于水的折射率大于乙醇,THz透射频谱结果显示为水的频移改变量大于乙醇,且峰2大于等于峰1。上述结果表明,构建的超材料液相传感芯片是一个灵敏的折射率传感器,也证明了该传感器在测量液态样品方面的可行性。此外,利用该芯片研究了不同浓度的PBS溶液,发现水溶液中加入离子会导致谐振频率红移（以水为参考）,随着离子浓度增加,谐振频率改变量依次增加,10X PBS红移量最大,峰1为22.9 GHz,峰2为30.5 GHz。比较两个谐振峰的传感性能,峰2的传感能力更好,但是峰1对低浓度的离子溶液更加敏感。因此,构建的微流体传感器及检测体系作为一个灵敏的折射率传感器,可开发一个灵敏的无标记THz传感平台,为太赫兹生物医学研究提供新思路。

Highly-sensitive silicon-on-insulator sensor based on two cascaded micro-ring resonators with vernier effect

A highly-sensitive integrated optical biosensor based on two cascaded micro-rings resonator (MRR) is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The free spectral ranges (FSRs) of two cascaded micro-rings are designed to be slightly different in order to generate Vernier effect. A preliminary investigation of our sensor with a Q factor of 2 × 10⁴ using different ethanol concentrations shows that the Vernier effect can improve the sensitivity to 1300 nm per refractive index unit (RIU), compared to 62 nm/RIU for a single ring sensor. The sensor also has a large measurement range of refractive index change up to 1.15 × 10^− 2 RIU. It can be useful for low-cost and highly-sensitive optical biosensor system.     

The study of electro-optical sensor based on slotted photonic crystal waveguide

A compact and sensitive electro-optical sensor based on slotted photonic crystal waveguide (S-PhCW) is demonstrated. The electro-optical sensor can be realized in photonic crystal (PhC) slabs of silicon in Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI). Nonlinear optical polymer is used as infiltration. By applying three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3D-FDTD), the sensitivity and quality factor of electro-optical sensor with different slotted waveguide width are calculated. In addition, sensitivity and the optical properties such as transmission spectrum and field distributions are compared between electro-optical sensor based on line defect photonic crystal waveguide (W1-PhCW) and that based on slotted photonic crystal waveguide (S-PhCW). Simulation results demonstrate that, compared with electro-optical sensor based on line defect photonic crystal waveguide, the sensitivity and quality factor is improved by 30 times and 6.6 times respectively in sensor based on slotted photonic crystal waveguide. Besides, the proposed PhC sensor devices have the advantage of a compact structure with the potential for monolithic integration with optical-to-electrical on-chip conversion and detection.

微槽式光学谐振腔超声传感效应验证*

摘 要：光学微腔的高灵敏度主要源于其结构在时间和空间上对光场的局域增强作用和频率选择作用。其结构在垂直于波导方向上形成了高反射的边界,形成了一种回声腔,使得光在波导内来回反射,从而增强了波导内部的光场强度。当外界存在微小的压力波动时,它将引起波导内部的介电常数和压力场的变化,从而改变了谐振腔内的模式场分布和传输特性,据此可以实现对微小的压力波动进行高灵敏度检测。本文设计了一种高品质因子（Q）的光波导微槽式环形谐振腔超声传感器,完成器件制备并搭建了测试系统,依据倏逝波效应实现了超声探测。测试结果表明,该传感器的品质因子为1.38×107,在800 kHz ~1 MHz范围内响应平坦,在900 kHz的信噪比可以达到27 dB,灵敏度达到 -168 dB。本文设计的传感器可以为水声探测等领域的研究提供关键技术支持。     

Plasmonic refractive index sensor based on the combination of rectangular and circular resonators including baffles

We numerically designed a plasmonic refractive index sensor with high sensitivity and tunable optical feature based on two metal-insulator-metal bus waveguides connecting with the central-coupled rectangular and circular ring resonators, including silver (Ag) baffles. In the design process, Ag baffles' influence on transmittance spectrum, magnetic and electric field distributions, surface power flow intensity, energy streamlines, and sensor performance are investigated using the finite element method. The proposed structure can use as a high precision plasmonic refractive index sensor for refractive index in the increment range of 0.01. The maximum sensitivity can reach 3400 nm/RIU (RIU is a refractive index unit), which remarkably increases the sensitivity of 1.36 times compared to the case without Ag baffles. Besides, the figure of merit and quality factor can achieve 36.00 and 42.28, respectively. The sensitivity and figure of merit can be increased by adding the Ag baffles in the proposed plasmonic sensor system, generating an additional gap plasmon resonance mode that cannot find in a typical case.

An all-fibre multi-parameter sensor for composite structures based on a chirped fibre Bragg grating

An all-fibre multi-parameter sensor for composite structures based on a chirped optical fibre Bragg grating (CFBG) has been studied theoretically and experimentally. The principle of multi-parameters sensing with a single CFBG is based on that the centre wavelength and the FWHM (full width at half maximum) in the reflection spectrum of a CFBG vary linearly with the temperature and/or the axial stress. A wavelength matched optical fibre long period grating (LPG) and another wavelength matched reference CFBG (CFBGR) have been used to interrogate the signal of the sensor CFBG (CFBGS). The temperature and strain of the composite structure have been monitored real-time with one CFBG as a single sensor head. The temperature resolution of 0.12°C and the strain resolution of 1.1μ? for a composite structure have been realized in experiments. The experiment results agree well with the theoretical analyses.

Numerical analysis of a photonic crystal fiber based on two polarized modes for biosensing applications

This paper presents a theoretical study on a photonic crystal fiber plasmonic refractive index biosensor. The proposed photonic crystal fiber sensor introduces the concept of simultaneous detection with the linearly polarized and radially polarized modes because the sensing performance of the sensor based on both modes is relatively high, which will be useful for selecting the modes to make the detection accurately. The sharp single resonant peaks of the linearly polarized mode and radially polarized mode, are stronger and more sensitive to the variation of analyte refractive index than that of any other polarized mode in this kind of photonic crystal fiber. For linearly polarized mode and radially polarized mode, the maximum sensitivities of 10448.5nm per refractive index unit and 8230.7nm per refractive index unit can be obtained, as well as 949.8 and 791.4 for figure of merits in the sensing range of 1.33-1.45, respectively. Compared with the conventional Au-metalized surface plasmon resonance sensors, our device is better and can be applied as a biosensor.     

Fabrication and study of a metal-clad planar waveguide based biosensor

A metal-clad planar optical waveguide biosensor having five layer structure has been fabricated to study the detection of Pseudomonas and Pseudomonas-like bacteria. This waveguide is designed to increase the overlap of the evanescent field extension from the sensor face with the micro-scale biological objects in the bulk solution, to place most of the entire volume of the bacteria within the evanescent field. The results presented here leads to a significant optimization of the important design parameters to sense micro-scale biological objects. We have compared our computed results with the results obtained by similar non-metallic clad biosensor. The effect of affinity-layer refractive index on the sensitivity of these planar waveguides is also studied. We have shown this for some special cases by obtaining reflection dips at the particular angle of incidence. Our observations show that the metal-clad planar optical waveguide biosensor having higher affinity refractive index will give better sensitivity than other similar non-metallic clad biosensor. The validation of metal-clad planar optical waveguide sensor for the detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium is also made.
