Sensor properties of planar waveguide structures with grating couplers

The paper presents the results of theoretical analysis as well as the results of experimental research involving planar sensor structures with input grating couplers of the period Λ = 800 nm. In the theoretical part of the paper we discussed the influence of the parameters of a sensor structure on it sensitivities. The experimental part of the work presents the results of experimental research involving the influence of refractive index of the cover on the coupling characteristics of sensor structures with grating couplers. The full widths at half maximum (FWHM) were from 0.023° to 0.029°. For the investigated structures we estimated detection thresholds for the changes of refractive index of the cover and the changes of sensitive film thickness. It has been demonstrated that by the application of the elaborated structures we can detect minimal changes of the refractive index (Δn_c)_min = 2.1×10⁻⁶ when the refractive index of the cover n_c = 1.333 and (Δn_c)_min = 1.0×10⁻⁶ when n_c = 1515. For sensitive films of the thickness w < 100 nm, by using the elaborated structures, we can detect mean changes of the thickness along the values lower than 10⁻³ nm.

High-resolution liquid refractive-index sensor using reflective arrayed-waveguide grating

A high-resolution sensor for measuring the refractive index of liquids using a reflective arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) is proposed. The refractive index of a liquid placed in the groove of the arrayed region is measured via the shift of the maximum intensity in the imaging plane of the AWG owing to the phase change in the region. The refractive index can be monitored in real time by measuring the power ratio between two output waveguides of the AWG with a narrow-band source. A mathematical model based on Fourier optics and wave optics is established. A fitting formula for the relationship between the power ratio and the refractive index of liquid is derived. The results of the study show that the proposed method can eliminate the effects of instability of the light source and the inner loss of the system and provide a refractive index resolution of 10⁻⁷.

Investigation on micro/nanofiber Bragg grating for refractive index sensing

We propose a refractometric sensor based on micro/nanofiber Bragg grating (MNFBG). The refractive index (RI) sensing performance dependence on the fiber radius and Bragg grating period of the sensor, as well as the temperature cross-sensitive effect, is investigated theoretically. The simulation results demonstrate that 400 nm-radius MNFBG has a linear response to RI ranging from 1.3 to 1.39 with a sensitivity as high as 992.7 nm/RIU and half temperature cross-sensitivity of normal FBG. A maximum sensitivity of up to 1200 nm/RIU and an outstanding RI resolution of 8.3 × 10^-6 can be achieved. MNFBG has high potential in various types of optical fiber sensor applications.     

A true fiber optic refractometer

The best instrument to measure the refractive index of liquids is the Abbe refractometer which can only provide accuracies of the order of 10⁻⁵ at visible wavelengths and 10⁻⁴ in the near infrared. Here we present a technique by which the exact wavelength positions in the near infrared frequency comb of a tilted grating inscribed in the core of an optical fiber can be used to measure the absolute value of the refractive index of a liquid in which the fiber is inserted, with an accuracy of ±5×10⁻⁵. This is in contrast to typical fiber optic‐based “refractometry” where only refractive index variations can be measured accurately, hence the appellation of “true” fiber optic refractometer here. In addition to the increased accuracy, the fiber refractometer proposed here offers the additional advantages associated with in situ measurements. The performance of this refractometer is demonstrated by measurements in water from room temperature down to near freezing at wavelengths in the 1550 nm window.
