Area of Science:

  • Photonics and optical sensing
  • Nanotechnology and materials science

Background:

  • Guided mode resonance (GMR) sensors offer ultrasensitive, label-free detection by monitoring refractive index (RI) changes on grating surfaces.
  • Conventional GMR systems often require manual adjustments, limiting their practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the practicality and user-friendliness of GMR sensors.
  • To develop an optimized detection system for GMR sensors using the Jones matrix method.
  • To optimize GMR sensor structure parameters via finite element method simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Finite element method simulations were used to optimize GMR sensor structure parameters.
  • A GMR sensor chip was fabricated with a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) substrate, TiO2 waveguide, and integrated microfluidic module.
  • The Jones matrix method was employed for the optimized detection system to perform RI measurements.

Main Results:

  • The optimized GMR sensor achieved a normalized sensitivity (Sn) of 0.4 RIU^-1 and an RI resolution (Rs) of 8.15 × 10^-5 RIU.
  • The system demonstrated effective RI measurements across varying sucrose concentrations.
  • The proposed system exhibited improved user-friendliness and cost-efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The developed GMR sensor detection system significantly enhances practicality for label-free RI sensing.
  • The system is suitable for scientific and industrial applications like biosensing and optical metrology.
  • Precise polarization control is a key feature enabling enhanced performance.
