A design for improving the sensitivity of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer to chemical and biological measurands

Integrated optical Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) composed of graded-index channel waveguides are often used as chemical/biological sensors. Such MZIs have a relatively low sensitivity because the graded-index active arms have a weak evanescent field. To improve the sensitivity, a channel-planar composite optical waveguide (COWG) is proposed as a substitute for the graded-index active arm. An actual channel-planar COWG was fabricated by sputtering a tapered TiO₂ film onto a straight glass channel waveguide prepared by the potassium ion exchange method. Measurement of the evanescent absorption of the dye solution demonstrated a significantly enhanced evanescent field over the TiO₂ film region caused by adiabatic transition of the guided mode between the channel waveguide and TiO₂ film. Theoretical calculations show that the sensitivity of a glass-based MZI can increase 71 times when the COWG active arm contains a 25 nm thick and 5 mm long tapered TiO₂ film. The use of a COWG as the active arm of a glass-based MZI also allows for elimination of the low-index buffer layer because of a large difference in evanescent field between the COWG and channel waveguide.     

Preliminary scanning fluorescence detection of a minute particle running along a waveguide implemented microfluidic channel using a light switching mechanism

It has long been thought that an optical sensor, such as a light waveguide implemented total analysis system (TAS), is one of the functional components that will be needed to realize a “ubiquitous human healthcare system” in the near future. We have already proposed the fundamental structure for a light waveguide capable of illuminating a living cell or particle running along a microfluidic channel, as well as of detecting fluorescence even from the extremely weak power of such a minute particle. In order to develop novel functions to detect the internal structure of living cells quickly, an angular scanning method that sequentially changes the direction of illumination of the minute cell or particle may be crucial. In this paper, we investigate fluorescence detection from moving particles by switching the laser power delivery path of plural light waveguides as a preliminary experiment toward this novel method. To construct an experimental system able to incorporate a switching light source mechanism cost effectively, we utilized a conventional TAS chip with plural waveguide pairs arranged in parallel, and a forced vibration mechanism on an optical fiber tip by a piezoelectric actuator. With this system, we performed an experiment to detect extremely weak fluorescence using micro particles with a fluorescent substance attached and an optical TAS chip that incorporated a microfluidic channel and three pairs of laser-power-delivering light waveguide cores. We successfully obtained clear, quasi-triangular-shaped pulses in fluorescent signals from resin particles running across the intersection under three different conditions: (1) a particle with approximately the same velocity as that of a forced-vibrated optical fiber tip of approximately 700 mm/s, (2) a particle with velocity 1 digit smaller than that of an optical fiber tip, and (3) a particle with velocity approximately 1/20 that of an optical fiber tip.     

New horizontal frustum optical waveguide fabrication using UV proximity printing

This paper presents a novel method for fabricating the horizontal frustum structure as a planar optical waveguide using the proximity printing technique. A horizontal frustum optical waveguide with both lateral and vertical taper structure was produced. The orthogonal and inclined masks with the diffraction effect were employed in the lithography process. This method can precisely control each horizontal frustum optical waveguide geometric profile in the fabrication process. The horizontal frustum optical waveguide and its array with the same inclined angle were generated. The beam propagation simulation software (BPM_CAD) was used to model the optical performance. The simulation results reveal that the mode profile matched into horizontal frustum optical waveguide and fiber from the laser diode. The optical loss of the horizontal hemi-frustum optical waveguide structure was less than 0.2 dB. The horizontal hemi-frustum waveguide will be used for fiber coupling on boards for future optical communication systems.     

Optofluidic waveguides: I. Concepts and implementations

We review recent developments and current status of liquid-core optical waveguides in optofluidics with emphasis on suitability for creating fully planar optofluidic labs-on-a-chip. In this first of two contributions, we give an overview of the different waveguide types that are being considered for effectively combining micro and nanofluidics with integrated optics. The large number of approaches is separated into conventional index-guided waveguides and more recent implementations using wave interference. The underlying principle for waveguiding and the current status are described for each type. We then focus on reviewing recent work on microfabricated liquid-core antiresonant reflecting optical (ARROW) waveguides, including the development of intersecting 2D waveguide networks and optical fluorescence and Raman detection with planar beam geometry. Single molecule detection capability and addition of electrical control for electrokinetic manipulation and analysis of single bioparticles are demonstrated. The demonstrated performance of liquid-core ARROWs is representative of the potential of integrated waveguides for on-chip detection with ultrahigh sensitivity, and points the way towards the next generation of high-performance, low-cost and portable biomedical instruments.
