Propagation loss on a Si-Slab Waveguide: Simulation revisited

Slab waveguide is one of the simplest types of optical waveguide, the confinement factor is only determined by the thickness of one side so that the propagation of light passing through it will be confined in the material. The slab waveguide is built from Si as the core material and SiO2 as the substrate. The use of various optical waveguides is very dependent on the objectives to be achieved in its application, for it is very important to know the characteristics of each optical waveguide. In this paper the writer wants to know the characteristics of a slab waveguide, specifically with regard to propagation loss. The simulation results show that the propagation loss in the slab waveguide design that the authors propose is around 0.1dB / mm in TE mode conditions. The occurrence of propagation loss in the simulation is likely due to imperfections in determining the effective material index in the design of the slab waveguide

Coupling Efficiency of a Spot Size Converter for Optical Fiber-Chip Connections

The light propagation in optical waveguide must be able to maintain low propagation loss, low coupling loss and scattering loss condition, especially in the junction. In this research, a spot size converter is proposed to preserve the lowest coupling loss. This optical converter is composed of a single mode optical fiber (SiO2) including inversed taper. The optical input signal from the optical fiber is launched into photonic integrated circuits and then coupled into the Si-Slab waveguide. Furthermore, linear form with the length dependence has been studied to obtain the optimal position of optical fiber and the chip and analyzed the coupling efficiency of it. The purpose of this research is to procure the optimal form of spot size converter. The simulation result shows the coupling loss of linear form is 0.62 dB and 0.24 dB on TE and TM mode condition respectively. Along with the increase in the taper length, the coupling loss obtained tends to decrease as well. So that, it can be assumed the design of a linear form with 100 μm taper length provides the highest coupling efficie ncy

Optimization of linear taper design of a silicon-slab waveguide

A linear taper is applied on a slab waveguide to control the divergence angle of the light. In this research, the slab waveguide design consists of silicon (Si) and SiO2 as the core and the substrate, respectively. The tapered design is optimized by measuring of Full-Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of the light after propagation in a Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD). The simulation results show that the optimized taper design is obtained when its length LT and width WL are 125 µm and 10 µm, respectively. This value is the optimal length to get the small diffraction angle of light during propagation in the waveguide. Thus, the divergence angle of the input light of the slab waveguide can be minimized by using this structure. One purpose of this research is to develop a miniaturized optical technology that is like the size of a chip

Optical Response of Various Heavy Metal Ions-Based Carbon Dots Photoluminescent Quenching Effect

Carbon nanodots (Cdots) are a type of semiconductor carbon-based nanomaterial that is gaining popularity due to its excellent characteristics (e.g., biocompatibility, unique optical properties, low cost, eco-friendly, and high stability). In terms of physicochemical properties for an environmentally friendly sensor application, this material also has an excellent ability to detect heavy metal ions in the biosphere. In this study, we proposed a comprehensive optical characterization to examine the sensitivity of the Cdots probe for three heavy metal ions (i.e., Mn, Pb, and Cr ions) and compare the performance. The results of the experiment revealed that each heavy metal ion reacted differently to the physical properties of Cdots. With the addition of Cr, Mn, and Pb metal ions from the original Cdot solution, which is only 1.45 ns, the lifetime of quenched Cdots is 2.55 ns, 3.15 ns, and 2.15 ns, respectively, according to the TRPL experiments. With additional Cr, Mn, and Pb discovered, the intensity of PL dropped by 5.7%, 14.2%, and 21.4%, respectively. Among these various heavy metal ions, Pb ions show the most affected by the quenching effect in Cdots-based photoluminescence, FTIR, and ultraviolet-visible light absorption characterization. Based on the results of three heavy metal ion experiments, this study can be implemented as the heavy metal ion sensor-based luminescence quenching effect of Cdots

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) Sensor for Measurement of Glucose and Ethanol Concentrations

Abstract. Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) has been extensively applied as a sensor because of its high sensitivity, accurate selectivity, label-free and real-time biomolecular interactions. In this work, simulation and experiment have been studied on the concentration measurement of ethanol and glucose solutions by SPR sensors. The sensor design used a Kretschmann configuration consisting of Glass/Cr/Au and was simulated by using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The ethanol and glucose solutions with varied concentrations were injected into the SPR channel, and the resonance angle was monitored. For the glucose concentration measurement, the resonance angle increases (from 71.607° to 74.434°) as the glucose concentration increases (from 0% to 15%) with a sensitivity of about 111.71/RIU. These experimental results agree with the simulation result, which showed a good linear response for the glucose concentration. However, for the ethanol measurement, an increase in resonance angle to the ethanol concentration is not linear in the higher concentration, which is related to the change in the refractive index. However, the excellent correlation between the experiment and simulation results shows that the SPR sensor has good sensitivity and accuracy
