Sensitive Evanescence-Field Waveguide Interferometer for Aqueous Nitro-Explosive Sensing

Wen Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a polymer waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) sensor was designed and fabricated to detect 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) in water. The theoretical sensitivity of the MZI sensor can reach up to 24,696 nm/RIU. The fabricated sensor had a maximum wavelength shift of 4.465 nm and good linear relation between the wavelength shift and a concentration ranging from 3.5 x 10(-5) to 6.3 x 10(-4) mol/L, with a sensitivity of 6821.6 nm/(mol/L). The unbalanced MZI sensor design, together with the sensing material, provides a new approach to low-cost, compact, and highly sensitive explosive detection.

Optical properties and far field radiation of periodic nanostructures fed by an optical waveguide for applications in fluorescence and Raman scattering

Badrul Alam et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on the optical scattering properties of nanostructures based on optical waveguides. The authors specifically analyze a periodic array of Au nano-cylinders or nano-domes fabricated on an ion-exchanged waveguide. They calculate the absorption, scattering, and extinction using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations and Scattering Theory, and extract the far-field radiation pattern. The study shows that the rectangular periodicity enables highly collimated beams and low irradiation over a wide angle range.
