This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to integrated optical waveguides for information technology and data communications. Integrated coverage ranges from advanced materials, fabrication, and characterization techniques to guidelines for design and simulation. A concluding chapter offers perspectives on likely future trends and challenges. The dramatic scaling down of feature sizes has driven exponential improvements in semiconductor productivity and performance in the past several decades. However, with the potential of gigascale integration, size reduction is approaching a physical limitation due to the negative impact on resistance and inductance of metal interconnects with current copper-trace based technology. Integrated optics provides a potentially lower-cost, higher performance alternative to electronics in optical communication systems. Optical interconnects, in which light can be generated, guided, modulated, amplified, and detected, can provide greater bandwidth, lower power consumption, decreased interconnect delays, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and reduced crosstalk when integrated into standard electronic circuits. Integrated waveguide optics represents a truly multidisciplinary field of science and engineering, with continued growth requiring new developments in modeling, further advances in materials science, and innovations in integration platforms. In addition, the processing and fabrication of these new devices must be optimized in conjunction with the development of accurate and precise characterization and testing methods. Students and professionals in materials science and engineering will find Advanced Materials for Integrated Optical Waveguides to be an invaluable reference for meeting these research and development goals.

Book Synopsis Surface Plasmon and Hydrogel Optical Waveguide by : Yi Wang
Download or read book Surface Plasmon and Hydrogel Optical Waveguide written by Yi Wang and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid and sensitive detection of chemical and biological analytes becomes increasingly important in areas such as medical diagnostics, food control and environmental monitoring. Optical biosensors based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and optical waveguide spectroscopy have been extensively pushed forward in these fields. In this book, we combine long range surface plasmons (LRSPs), surface plasmon-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS) and optical waveguide spectroscopy with hydrogel thin film for highly sensitive detection of molecular analytes. LRSPs are special surface plasmon waves propagating along thin metal films with orders of magnitude higher electromagnetic field intensity and lower damping than conventional SPs. Therefore, their excitation on the sensor surface provides higher fluorescence signal for molecules detection. The hydrogel thin film attached on a sensor surface served both as a binding matrix and as an optical waveguide for probing molecules interactions. The higher binding capacity of hydrogel and low damping of optical waveguide provide higher sensitivity for molecules detection as compared to regular SPR.

Book Synopsis Integrated Optical Signal Processing Based on Optical Waveguides and Wavefront-engineered Planar Devices by : Yuewang Huang
Download or read book Integrated Optical Signal Processing Based on Optical Waveguides and Wavefront-engineered Planar Devices written by Yuewang Huang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is dedicated to the investigation of optical signal processing in integrated photonic platforms. In particular, I developed novel devices and techniques based on silcon-on-sapphire (SOS), silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides, as well as plasmonic metasurfaces and dielectric gratings based nanophotonic wavefront-engineered planar devices. Using these devices, several applications of telecommunication wavelengths and mid-IR wavelengths are presented. The first part of the thesis investigates novel devices based on SOS and SiN technology and optical signal processing by using these devices. The fabrication techniques of both SOS and SiN waveguide are introduced with main focusing on the deposition of the guiding material (Si and SiN). Fabrication of SiN channel waveguides was pursued in the context of providing a guiding channel for optical leaky wave antenna (OLWA). A new technique of fabricating SiN waveguide with conventional optical lithography was also discussed. The fabricated SiN waveguides have a propagation loss of 0.8dB/cm and nonlinear refractive index of n2=1.39 710−19m2/W. Then, a gas sensor based on mid-IR evanescent absorption in SOS waveguide was proposed. Strip, rib and slot waveguides were designed for optimized interaction with the gas. A case study of CO2 detection based on its mid-IR absorption peak at ~4.23[mu]m can achieve a resolution of 2ppm. To further improve the sensing performance, a new scheme of indirect detection of mid-IR signal was proposed. One of the main challenges in the field involves the detection of mid-IR signal at room temperature. I developed an indirect detection system. Mid-IR signal was first converted to the near-IR wavelength through wavelength conversion in a SOS waveguide and then indirectly detected with high-performance telecommunication detectors. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) could be improved by 40dB compared to direct detection using mid-IR detectors. The SNR improvement is highly dependent on the conversion efficiency and bandwidth of the wavelength conversion process. To enhance the efficiency and bandwidth, quasi-phase-matching in SOS and SOI waveguides was investigated. By alternating the waveguide sections with opposite dispersion periodically, efficiency can be enhanced by 50dB and bandwidth can be broadened by 2x.The second part of the thesis focused on the design and fabrication of two types of wavefront-engineered planar devices. The first type is a blazed grating based on phase-gradient gap-plasmon metasurface. 75.6% power efficiency with ~0.4°/10nm spatial dispersion has been measured. The fabricated device has been tested in a dispersive imaging system, achieving

This book was released on 2015 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Optical label-free biosensors promise high-throughput, rapid, and sensitive detection of biomolecules. As such, these biodetection platforms have applications in clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical industry, homeland security and in environmental monitoring. Motivated by these attributes, my thesis has focused on advancing the biosensing technology of two novel silicon-based optical label-free sensors: arrayed imaging reflectometry (AIR) and two-dimensional photonic crystal structures (2D PhC). The AIR biosensor is an interferometry-based technique that relies on the creation and destruction of a near-zero reflectivity condition in a carefully chosen thin film. To thoroughly quantify the biosensor detection signal, a correlation between the sensor response and the solution analyte concentration needs to be determined. In the first half of this thesis, a theoretical framework was developed to predict the AIR sensor response for a given solution analyte concentration. The developed model was subsequently validated using spectroscopic ellipsometry and surface plasmon resonance techniques in addition to AIR by utilizing two model probe-analyte pairs. It was established that the probe-analyte interaction on AIR substrate across two formats: macrospots and microarrays closely represented one-site and two-site Langmuir models, respectively. Two-dimensional photonic crystals are periodic dielectric structures with spatial periodicity in two dimensions. In the presence of a "defect" microcavity that disrupts the spatial periodicity, light of specific wavelength can be captured within the defect cavity. This manifests as a "dip" in the transmission spectrum of the crystal and is very sensitive to the local refractive index changes in the immediate vicinity of the defect cavity. The second half of this thesis investigates the utility of two designs of the 2D PhC: "small" and "large" point-defect microcavities coupled to a transmission waveguide for sensing latex particles in microfluidic environment. With the "small" defect design, detection of ~100 nm size latex particles in microfluidic environment was confirmed. This is the first study that demonstrates particle detection in the presence of a fluid cover using a 2D PhC sensor, a significant technological advancement for the incorporation of this sensor into lab-on-a-chip device. Using a "large" point-defect cavity design, real-time detection of latex particles of size ~280 nm was demonstrated. This to our knowledge is the first demonstration of detection of latex particles in real-time using 2D PhCs without the aid of any optical forces. This proof-of-principle demonstration of particle detection lays the foundation for the further development of these devices for the detection of a single biological particle, which when accomplished will have a huge impact in the field of clinical diagnostics"--Pages ix-x.
