Surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on large size square-lattice photonic crystal fiber

A surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on large size square-lattice photonic crystal fiber has been designed and simulated by finite element method. The square-lattice airholes are first coated with a calcium fluoride layer to provide mode confinement, then a nanoscale gold layer is deposited to excite the plasmon mode, and finally, the sample is infiltrated into the holes. The numerical results reveal that the resonance properties are easily affected by many parameters. The refractive index resolution of corresponding sensor can reach 4.3 × 10^?6 RIU when the optimum parameters are set as the radius of curvature of the airhole r = 2 μm, the thickness of the core struts c = 200 nm, the auxiliary dielectric layer s = 1 μm, and the gold film d = 40 nm. In addition, the effective area and nonlinear coefficient are calculated.     

A localized surface plasmon resonance based immunosensor for the detection of casein in milk

In this research, a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) immunosensor based on gold-capped nanoparticle substrate for detecting casein, one of the most potent allergens in milk, was developed. The fabrication of the gold-capped nanoparticle substrate involved a surface-modified silica nanoparticle layer (core) on the slide glass substrate between bottom and top gold layers (shell). The absorbance peak of the gold-capped nanoparticle substrate was observed at ∼520 nm. In addition, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images demonstrated that the nanoparticles formed a monolayer on the slide glass. After immobilizing anti-casein antibody on the surface, our device, casein immunosensor, could be applied easily for the detection of casein in the raw milk sample without a difficult pretreatment. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limit of the casein immunosensor was determined as 10 ng/mL. Our device brings several advantages to the existing LSPR-based biosensors with its easy fabrication, simple handling, low-cost, and high sensitivity.

High-birefringence dual-wavelength single-polarization photonic crystal fibre polarizing filter based on surface plasmon resonance

A dual communication band single-polarization photonic crystal fibre polarizing filter based on surface plasmon resonance is presented in this paper. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the resonance strength of x- and y-polarized direction can reach 569.83 and 719.25?dB.cm^?1 simultaneously at the communication wavelength of 1.31 and 1.55?µm. By filling liquid analyte, the confinement loss of x- and y-polarized direction can simultaneously reach 831.7 and 580.53?dB.cm^?1 at the wavelength of 1.31 and 1.55?µm. Furthermore, when the fibre length L is equal to 700?µm, the peak value of the crosstalk can reach 493.86 and ?323.67?dB at the same time at the wavelength of 1.31 and 1.55?µm, and when the length of the fibre L is 400?µm, the bandwidths of the crosstalk better than 20?dB and less than ?20?dB are about 160 and 210?nm, respectively. These performances make it an ideal candidate for designing dual-band polarization filter equipment.

Transmittance spectrum of surface plasmon polariton based filter with asymmetric double-ring resonator and switch

The transmittance spectrum of a plasmonic filter has been numerically simulated by the two-dimension (2D) finite-difference time-domain method. The filter is composed of two Metal-Insulator-Metal waveguides and a resonator with two different rings. The results show that the rising edge of the asymmetric resonator is steeper than that of symmetric one at each pass band. By embedding the liquid crystal in the resonator, the filter can act as an electro-optical switch. These results show potential applications on nano-optical devices.

Phase effects in guided mode resonances II: measuring the angular phase of a surface plasmon polariton

We show how the phase of a resonant interaction between a focused beam and a guided mode can be directly observed in a pupil imaging experiment, in which the irradiance leaving the pupil of a standard microscope is relayed to an image sensor through a combination Wollaston prism, calcite beam splitter and polarizer. We apply the method to the observation of a surface plasmon polariton resonance excited in a corrugated silver film fabricated using electron beam lithography. We discuss how this particular imaging configuration could be adapted for applications in plasmonic optical sensing.

In this paper we show a systematic study of the growth of silver nano-particles (NPs) embedded in an Erbium-doped tellurite glass with annealing time, aiming to a photoluminescence enhancement. The results indicate an improved or quenching of the photoluminescence due to an energy transfer mechanism in the coupling between NP’s electric dipoles and Er⁺³ transitions (⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2, ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 and ⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2).

ODDLS: A new unstructured mesh finite element method for the analysis of free surface flow problems

This paper introduces a new stabilized finite element method based on the finite calculus (Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 1998; 151 :233–267) and arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian techniques (Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 1998; 155 :235–249) for the solution to free surface problems. The main innovation of this method is the application of an overlapping domain decomposition concept in the statement of the problem. The aim is to increase the accuracy in the capture of the free surface as well as in the resolution of the governing equations in the interface between the two fluids. Free surface capturing is based on the solution to a level set equation. The Navier–Stokes equations are solved using an iterative monolithic predictor–corrector algorithm (Encyclopedia of Computational Mechanics. Wiley: New York, 2004), where the correction step is based on imposing the divergence‐free condition in the velocity field by means of the solution to a scalar equation for the pressure. Examples of application of the ODDLS formulation (for overlapping domain decomposition level set) to the analysis of different free surface flow problems are presented.

Influence of the surface roughness on the properties of Au films measured by surface plasmon resonance and X-ray reflectometry

Thickness and refractive index of Au films thermally evaporated onto glass substrates and with an underlayer of Cr are determined from surface plasmon resonance. The results for the thickness are found to agree very well with those from X-ray reflectivity when a simple model of layers with flat interfaces is used. Plasmon propagation along thin films is influenced by radiative damping due to scattering from surface roughness. To study this influence the surface roughness of the glass substrate, Cr an Au layers are measured by X-ray reflectometry and the results used to introduce three intermediate layers with effective refractive indices and thicknesses corresponding to the roughness. Then Fresnel's equations are used to fit the reflectivity and to deduce the layer properties. It is found that the roughness affects to a great extent the optical parameters of the Au films even when it is smaller than 1 nm. In particular, the absolute value of real part of the dielectric constant decreases while its imaginary part increases when those effects are not taken into account.     

Finite Element Modelling and the Experimental Verification of Superplastic Forming

FEM analysis has proved to be a powerful investigative tool capable of encompassing all the aspects that characterise an SPF process. However, despite the high potential of FEM programs they do not allow one to directly and suitably obtain the thickness of a sheet product for high deformation values, as commonly occurs in SPF processes. Many papers have been published on finite element analysis of S.P.F. process but the question of calculus accuracy in thicknesses of a sheet product has not been directly investigated. This problem has been already considered by the authors in a previous study which proposed an algorithm to determine thicknesses for a specific application. The software set up starts out with the results of the FEM modelling, keeps track of the deformation undergone by each element of the mesh and calculates to a good approximation the thicknesses at the end of the forming. Although the original version of the algorithm could only be used for the application studied an updated version is introduced in this study that can be used for any case. In other words, the software generates the thickness profile at the end of the analysis independently of technological set up, item shape and type of simulation (3D and 2D). The proposed algorithm was tested with reference to the superplastic forming of an item of simple geometry beginning with a thin circular plate blocked at the edges and put under constant hydrostatic pressure on one side. The test material, made superplastic by means of a series of repeated laminations, was characterised using an alternative method to the traditional tension test. The results of the experiments are in good accordance with the numerical predictions both in terms of thickness distribution and forming times.     

Radial basis functions based on differential quadrature method for the free vibration analysis of laminated composite arbitrarily shaped plates

The conventional strong form collocation approach known as Differential Quadrature (DQ) method has been applied in the past to a vast type of engineering problems. It is well-known that its application is strictly limited to regular regions where derivatives are approximated along mesh lines. Generally, its accuracy increases when the number of collocation points is large and the method tends to be stable. However, for some numerical problems several points are needed in order to obtain an accurate solution. Changing the basis functions another numerical technique was developed called Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) method, which has the advantage of approximating derivatives using irregular point distributions and the basis functions depend on the mutual radial distance of the grid points. In order to extend the idea of DQ method to a general case a Radial Basis Function based on Differential Quadrature (RBF-DQ) method has been recently developed. This method merges the advantages of both techniques. Furthermore, this work proposes the application of RBF-DQ when a domain decomposition technique is considered. In this way it will be shown that, using some kind of basis functions the number of grid points per element can be reduced compared to other classical approaches. Furthermore, once the shape parameter is fixed for one case, it is not needed to calculate it again for other applications.
