In this paper, homogeneous, wavelength shift biosensor is designed for sensing the protein concentration using two dimensional Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator (PCRR). The sensor is designed to monitor the protein concentration from 0% to 100%. The proposed sensor is composed of periodic Si rods embedded in an air host with a circular PCRR that is placed between the inline quasi waveguides. It i...

background: whispering gallery modes (wgm) biosensors are ultrasensitive systems that can measure amount of adsorbed layer onto the micro-cavity surface. they have many applications including protein, peptide growth, dna and bacteria detection, molecular properties measurements and specific interaction and drug table recognitions due to their high sensitivity, compact size and label free sensin...

in this paper first we try to analysis the behavior ofthe soas in the optical networks and then have proposed anumerical simple model to simulate the behavior of thesemiconductor optical amplifiers. after that by employing thismodel as inline amplifier for a dwdm optical system, we havesimulated the transmission of 10 channels with bit rate 10 gb/sup to distance 3970 km with rz-dpsk modulation ...

We experimentally demonstrate four-wave-mixing (FWM)-based continuous wavelength conversion of optical differential-phase-shift-keyed (DPSK) signals with large wavelength conversion ranges as well as simultaneous wavelength conversion of dual-wavelength channels with mixed modulation formats in 1.1-cm-long dispersion-engineered silicon waveguides. We first validate up to 100-nm wavelength conve...

A sensing method based on resonance localized surface plasmon spectroscopy was developed for low molecular weight substrate and inhibitor molecules binding to heme proteins. Cytochrome P450 proteins have Soret and Q absorption bands in the visible wavelength region. The coupling between the molecular resonance of P450 and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of functionalized silver n...

The measurement of the tuning speed in fiber Bragg gratings is an increasingly important parameter for characterizing the dynamics of tunable devices. Optical spectrum analyzers and wavelength meters are not suitable due to their slow response for measuring the wavelength shift in time. In this paper we report on a technique for estimating the tuning speed of a fiber Bragg grating which is base...
