Label-free Sensing with Photonic Crystal Nanobeam Cavities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical nano-cavities are ideal platforms for label-free sensing. In this work, we demonstrated sensing of glucose concentrations at 10mg/dL with photonic crystal nanobeam sensor. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity and linearity covering the whole range of clinically relevant levels. Current device was fabricated in silicon-on-insulator platform and operated at telecom wavelength, and thus further integration of micro-electronic circuits is possible.

Optimization of High-Q Coupled Nanobeam Cavity for Label-Free Sensing
We numerically and experimentally investigated the lateral coupling between photonic crystal (PhC) nanobeam (NB) cavities, pursuing high sensitivity and figure of merit (FOM) label-free biosensor. We numerically carried out 3D finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) and the finite element method (FEM) simulations. We showed that when two PhC NB cavities separated by a small gap are evanescently...

متن کاملDeterministic design of wavelength scale, ultra-high Q photonic crystal nanobeam cavities.
Photonic crystal nanobeam cavities are versatile platforms of interest for optical communications, optomechanics, optofluidics, cavity QED, etc. In a previous work [Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 203102 (2010)], we proposed a deterministic method to achieve ultrahigh Q cavities. This follow-up work provides systematic analysis and verifications of the deterministic design recipe and further extends the ...

We investigate the design, fabrication and experimental characterization of high Quality factor photonic crystal nanobeam cavities in silicon. Using a five-hole tapered 1D photonic crystal mirror and precise control of the cavity length, we designed cavities with theoretical Quality factors as high as 1.4 × 10. By detecting the cross-polarized resonantly scattered light from a normally incident...
