Abstract
A dielectric Bragg structure is utilized based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal of alternating TiO2/SiO2 layers as a sensor. MoSe2 termination layer is exploited to excite a Bloch surface wave (BSW) at its interface with the analyte. The light source excites the biosensor through a MgF2 prism at a wavelength of 1100 nm. The proposed biosensor operates based on the variation of the resonance angle due to changes in the refractive index of the biological material, i.e. from 1.33 to 1.34. For ten MoSe2 monolayers, the detection sensitivity is obtained as 287 (°/RIU) with a linear regression coefficient of 0.9953. Correspondingly, the maximum and average values of the figure of merit (FoM) amount to 7316 and 6913(1/RIU), respectively. By decreasing the number of monolayers, the linearity improves and the FoM increases remarkably at the cost of a reduction in the average sensitivity. Such large FoMs provide ultra-high resolutions to distinguish between analytes with very close refractive indices. This is useful in detecting slight changes in the cell concentrations within a host medium. No grating is used in the proposed sensor, which simplifies the fabrication process.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
