Abstract
This study proposes a dynamically tunable optical sensor (DFBG-GA) based on the integration of a distributed feedback Bragg grating (DFBG) and a graphene array (GA). Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we demonstrate that the transmission spectrum of DFBG-GA exhibits prominent resonance peaks, the linewidth and wavelength of which can be dynamically tuned by adjusting the graphene chemical potential, the number of Bragg grating periods, and the cavity thickness. Experimental results reveal that the structure achieves a refractive index sensitivity of up to 10,430 nm/RIU, with a strong linear response (R2 > 0.98). Furthermore, the average figure of merit (Δλ/Δμ) for graphene chemical potential tuning reaches 9.5904 μm/eV, indicating efficient dynamic modulation capabilities. These findings suggest that this architecture has promising potential for applications in biosensing, environmental monitoring, and related fields.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
