چکیده

We have recently implemented a new interferometric device based on silicon photonics to be employed as a highly sensitive and label-free biosensor. We show here the working principle, theoretical design, fabrication, and optical and biosensing characterization of the integrated bimodal waveguide interferometer (BiMW), based on two-mode interference.

Biosensing microsystem platform based on the integration of Si Mach-Zehnder interferometer, microfluidics and grating couplers

We have achieved the design, fabrication and packaging of microfluidic networks with photonic sensors for novel labon-chip platforms which incorporate the on-chip biosensing detection. As sensors, we used an integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on TIR waveguides (Si/SiO2/Si3N4) of micro/nanodimensions for evanescent field detection of biomolecular interactions onto the sensing are...

Silicon Integrated Dual-Mode Interferometer with Differential Outputs

The dual-mode interferometer (DMI) is an attractive alternative to Mach-Zehnder interferometers for sensor purposes, achieving sensitivities to refractive index changes close to state-of-the-art. Modern designs on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platforms offer thermally stable and compact devices with insertion losses of less than 1 dB and high extinction ratios. Compact arrays of multiple DMIs in ...

Silicon Photonic-wire Waveguide Devices

Silicon photonic-wire waveguide is one of the most promising platforms in constructing compact optical devices, since the waveguide can be bent with a radius of less then several microns. Recently, we have demonstrated various optical devices based on silicon photonic-wire waveguides, which include a directional coupler, a tunable optical add-drop multiplexer, and some ultra-compact 1 x N optic...
