In this regard, femtosecond (fs) laser processing technique has been widely used to fabricate micro-/nano-architecture with high spatial resolution, limitless flexibility, and unrestricted three-dimensional structuring capability at a large-scale, low-cost way.

It is known that a higher concentration of Si in silicon-rich nitride (SRN) magnifies both the nonlinear response and optical losses, including nonlinear losses. To address the trade-off, four-wave mixing (FWM) is implemented in over a hundred SRN waveguides prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in a wide range of SRN refractive indices varying between 2.5 and 3.2 (measured in the C-band). It is determined that SRN with a refractive index of about 3 maximizes the FWM efficiency for continuous-wave operation, indicating that the refractive index of SRN is indeed a crucial optimization parameter for nonlinear optics applications. The FWM efficiency is limited by large nonlinear optical losses observed in SRN waveguides with indices larger than 2.7, which are not related to two-photon absorption.

The detection is based on the hybridization of a target DNA at 100 ng μL⁻¹ with a complementary biotinylated probe as well as a partially complementary biotinylated with one nucleotide mismatch probe on a gold-coated surface. Both probes are used at a concentration of 0.1 μm.
