We proposed a three-layer waveguide as an optical sensor for homogeneous sensing applications. A guiding layer of the proposed
structure is considered as lossy left-handed material (LHM) with simultaneously the complex negative electric permittivity
ɛ and the complex negative magnetic permeability μ. We also assume a cladding layer to have an intensity-dependent refractive
index. Sensitivity of the proposed optical waveguide sensor is derived and its dependence on different parameters of a waveguide
is studied. 相似文献

In a very recent work, a transverse electric peak-type metal-clad waveguide optical sensor was proposed in which a double-negative material (DNM) was used as a guiding layer. The sensor was found to exhibit a considerable angular shift of the reflectance peak for small changes in the refractive index of the analyte, due to the DNM layer. In this work, the optimization of the structure parameters is investigated to find out the most appropriate metal and its optimal thickness. Moreover, the optimal DNM layer parameters corresponding to the highest sensitivity are explored. Our calculations reveal that metals with high absolute value of the real part of the permittivity correspond to sharper peaks. Moreover, as the absolute value of the real part of both ε and μ of the DNM increases, the reflectance peak becomes sharper and the dip following the peak becomes deeper. 相似文献

We show analytically that the sensitivity of an optical waveguide sensor can be dramatically enhanced by using a metamaterial with negative permittivity and permeability. The variation of the sensitivity of the proposed waveguide sensor with different parameters of the waveguide is studied. It is found that the sensitivity of the sensor increases with the increasing thickness of the metamaterial due to the surface polariton generation. 相似文献

We consider a slab waveguide made of a material with negative permeability and negative permittivity, the surrounding medium is conventional. By using the dispersion relation, we show the dispersion curves from the variation of the core width and other physical parameters. The associated energy flow for several thicknesses of the nonlinear layer waveguide is presented. We discuss possible new types of modes that can occur. It is found that the dispersion curves and the energy flow can be controlled by varying the thickness of the guide, the filling factor and the effective plasma frequency. A numerical simulation is done to well illustrate. 相似文献

This paper reports that Goos--H\"anchen (GH) shifts
occurring on a symmetrical metal-cladding waveguide are
experimentally identified. It was found that there exists a critical
thickness of the upper metal layer, h_cr, above which negative
shift is observed and, reversely, positive shift occurs. Both
positive and negative GH shifts near the critical thickness do not vary
dramatically and can achieve a maximum on the submillimeter scale, which
is different from simulated results using the stationary-phase
method. It also shows that this critical thickness, h_cr, can be
obtained at the position for zero reflectivity by setting the
intrinsic damping to be the same as the radiative damping. The GH
effects observed near the critical thickness are produced by extreme
distortion of the reflected beam profiles, which limits the
amplitude of the GH shift and, further, the sensitivity of the GH optical
sensor based on the symmetrical metal-cladding waveguide. 相似文献

We propose theoretically two optical sensor structures based on Fabry–Perot resonator and fringes of equal thickness structure. Different from the conventional slab waveguide sensors in which the sample interacts with the evanescent field in the cladding layer, the proposed sensors contain the sample in the core layer. The first proposed sensor comprises a piezoelectric material as a substrate with the driving potential difference as the sensing probe for refractive index changes of the sample. The second sensor comprises fringes of equal thickness structure with the number of fringes per unit length is the probe for changes in the index of the sample. The calculations reveal that the proposed sensors have high sensitivity to changes in the refractive index of the sample. 相似文献

In advanced optical fiber communication systems where reflection light might cause degradation of the signal quality, optical waveguide isolators play an important role. The effect of a metal layer with negative permittivity on the behavior of nonlinear-magnetooptic isolator is studied. The isolator consists of metal film, nonlinear cladding, and magnetooptic substrate. It is found that difference between forward and backward propagation for TM0 mode increases with increasing the absolute value of the tuning parameter which is the permittivity of the metal film, ?f. It is also found that the maximum cut-off thickness of the isolator occurs in self-defocusing case around η = 0.65 and at the highest assumed value of ?f = −8. These results are helpful in fabricating an isolator with high performance. 相似文献

Two types of optical metamaterials operating at near-IR and mid-IR frequencies, respectively, have been designed, fabricated
by nanoimprint lithography (NIL), and characterized by laser spectroscopic ellipsometry. The structure for the near-IR range
was a metal/dielectric/metal stack “fishnet” structure that demonstrated negative permittivity and permeability in the same
frequency region and hence exhibited a negative refractive index at a wavelength near 1.7 μm. In the mid-IR range, the metamaterial
was an ordered array of fourfold symmetric L-shaped resonators (LSRs) that showed both a dipole plasmon resonance resulting
in negative permittivity and a magnetic resonance with negative permeability near wavelengths of 3.7 μm and 5.25 μm, respectively.
The optical properties of both metamaterials are in agreement with theoretical predictions. This work demonstrates the feasibility
of designing various optical negative-index metamaterials and fabricating them using the nanoimprint lithography as a low-cost,
high-throughput fabrication approach.

We investigated the dispersion property of a slab waveguide with an anisotropic metamaterial core whose permittivity tensor is partially negative. The subwavelength guidance characteristics are presented based on the boundary conditions. The results show that, at some specific frequencies, many high-order modes can exist in present waveguide even with the thickness of the guiding core 10 times smaller than the working wavelength. It is also found that different orientations of the optical axis of the anisotropic core will lead to different dispersion of the guided modes. If the orientation of the optical axis is properly chosen, the guided modes show a transition from backward wave to a forward wave as the frequency increases. During this transition, the group velocity of some guided modes can approach zero. Since the anisotropic metamaterial we discuss here can be fabricated in GHz, near- and mid-infra-red frequencies, our result may find some applications in wave trapper, integrated optical and nanophotonic devices. 相似文献

Theoretical and experimental study of the surface plasmon–polariton and guided wave plasmon polariton modes is presented for the Sapphire/Ag/Polycarbonate/Air structure. Theoretical results are obtained by solving complex multilayer eigenvalue equations as well as the reflectivity equation for this structure. It is proposed that the mode attenuation can be significantly reduced by inserting a low index dielectric buffer between the metal and the guiding dielectric layer. The dispersion and attenuation curves are generated. Both the surface plasmon and guided wave plasmon polariton modes are studied experimentally. The experimental values of the effective refractive indices agree well with the theoretical values. The electric field profiles are generated and used to examine the nature of modes. After optimization of various parameters the condition for low loss single mode guiding is obtained for the proposed structure. Effect of metal thickness on surface plasmon mode is also discussed. It is inferred that in a properly optimized plasmonic waveguide, the losses can be reduced by a factor of 4. 相似文献

The present paper deals with the theoretical modeling of a nonlinear asymmetrical metal-clad planar waveguide for sensor application to achieve high sensitivity. We take the appropriate field distributions for the proposed structure and impose the boundary conditions to derive the mode equation and other necessary formulae for the proposed sensor. The effect of nonlinearity on the sensitivity of the waveguide is studied. Also, we have compared our computed results with the results given for a similar sensor having five layers structure. It is observed that the sensitivity of the sensor is improved by introducing a nonlinear material in the cover medium. 相似文献

We theoretically investigate a thin single metal layer covered on sub-wavelength dielectric grating. Numerical simulations
show that the structure has negative index in the normal direction at visible frequencies. Structural investigation demonstrates
that the simultaneous negative permittivity and permeability at an overlapping frequency range are attributed to the metal
cut-wire and “U”-shaped structure disassembled from the structure, respectively. Furthermore, parametric exploration for practical
fabrication is presented. 相似文献

In this paper, the reflection properties and sensitivity of a D-shape optical fibre sensor are investigated theoretically and numerically with the emphasis on the metal layer [gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and aluminum (Al)]. Maxwell’s equations are used to determine the electric and magnetic fields of the incident waves at each layer. Snell’s law is applied and the boundary conditions are imposed at each layer interface to calculate the reflected power and sensitivity of the sensor. In the numerical results, the mentioned power is computed and illustrated as a function of wavelength, angle of incidence, metal layer thickness and refractive index of the external medium when the metal layer changes. The variation of sensitivity with the wavelength of the incident radiations is also proposed for some of the given metals. 相似文献

An interferometric optical isolator, with a Si guiding layer, employing a nonreciprocal phase shift was studied. The optical isolator was comprised of a magneto-optic waveguide with a magnetic garnet/Si/SiO2 structure, which was fabricated by wafer bonding technique. The nonreciprocal phase shift in the magneto-optic waveguide with the Si guiding layer was calculated at a wavelength of 1.55 μm. Several kinds of layer structures in the magneto-optic waveguide were discussed. 相似文献
