Different characterizations including atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Raman spectroscopy were obtained to study silvery substrates. Then, the silvery substrates were used as the SERS substrates to detect vibrational modes of phenylalanine amino acid up to the concentration of 10 -7 M. The importance of phenylalanine amino acid detection is due to the early diagnosis of phenylketonuria in neonates. Therefore, the blood plasma of a healthy neonate and a neonate with phenylketonuria disease were adsorbed on the SERS substrates. They enhance the intensity of molecular vibration peaks of phenylalanine amino acid of two kinds of blood plasmas. The intensities of molecular vibrations of unhealthy plasma are stronger than healthy plasma due to the higher concentrations of phenylalanine amino acid, which is the sign of Phenylketonuria disease.","PeriodicalId":19554,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Photonics Society of Iran","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79389532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Silicon nano-bars with optimized size and period are embedded on top of the active layer, under a 100nm Si3N4 layer. As a result of the proposed layer stack, an inhomogeneous intermediate layer with effective refractive index amid the two layers is formed and a graded refractive index AR coating is achieved, which has a substantial effect on broad, omnidirectional reduction of the reflection spectra. To validate our claim, the proposed structure as well as four conventional AR coatings are simulated and through the numerical analysis of both the spectral response of the reflection factor and the silicon active layer absorption spectra, it is shown that the proposed design outperforms conventional already existing AR coatings, and in addition provides a strong coupling of the incident light to the active layer, while improving the overall efficiency of the thin-film","PeriodicalId":19554,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Photonics Society of Iran","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91366507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
