An evanescent wave biosensor. II. Fluorescent signal acquisitionfrom tapered fiber optic probes

For pt.I see ibid., vol.41, no.6, p.578-84 (1994). A biosensor was developed using antibodies, fluorescence and the evanescent wave to detect antigen binding at the surface of an optical fiber. Cladding was removed from the core along the distal end of a step-index optical fiber, and recognition antibodies were immobilized on the declad core to form the probe sensing region. Immersing the declad probe in aqueous solution creates a V-number mismatch between the immersed probe and the clad fiber. Probes created with reduced sensing region radius exhibited improved response by decreasing the V-number mismatch. Tapering the radius of this region has further improved probe response. Ray tracing analysis of the tapered probe demonstrated that the evanescent wave penetration depth increases along the length of the taper. Experiments correlating position of refraction along the taper with launch angle at the proximal end were realized in the ray tracing model. An evanescent wave immunoassay was performed with a series of the tapered fiber probes, each tapered from the fiber core radius (100 μm) to different end radii. An end radius of 29 μm was found to produce maximal signal from the tapered probe. Factors leading to the determination of the optimized probe are discussed

An evanescent wave biosensor. I. Fluorescent signal acquisitionfrom step-etched fiber optic probes

A fiber-optic biosensor capable of remote continuous monitoring has recently been designed. To permit sensing at locations separate from the optoelectronic instrumentation, long optical fibers are utilized. An evanescent wave immune-probe is prepared by removing the cladding near the distal end of the fiber and covalently attaching antibodies to the core. Probes with a radius unaltered from that of the original core inefficiently returned the signal produced upon binding the fluorescent-labelled antigen. To elucidate the limiting factors in signal acquisition, a series of fibers with increasingly reduced probe core radius was examined. The results were consistent with the V-number mismatch, the difference in mode carrying capacity between the clad and unclad fiber, being a critical factor in limiting signal coupling from the fiber probe. However, it was also delineated that conditions which conserve excitation power, such that power In the evanescent wave is optimized, must also be met to obtain a maximal signal. The threshold sensitivity for the optimal step-etched fiber probe was improved by over 20-fold in an immunoassay, although, it was demonstrated that signal acquisition decreased along the probe length, suggesting that a sensor region of uniform radius is not ideal     

Observation of whispering-gallery mode splitting in spherical resonator

We report the observation of the splitting of whispering-gallery mode in the silica spherical resonator. To characterize the fused-silica spherical resonator,an evanescent fiber taper coupling technique is employed. The coupling system consists of a fiber taper with a diameter of about 2.8 microns and a fused-silica spherical resonator with a diameter of about 143 microns. By injecting the laser power into the fiber taper,a number of narrow absorption peaks with equal peak spacing of 3.7 nm are observed in a wide spectral range. After replacing the resonator by the other one with the shape being slightly modified,whispering-gallery mode splitting in the spherical resonator is observed. The wavelength spacing between adja-cent peaks is 0.32 nm,much smaller than that of the previous one.     

Optimization of coupling between photonic crystal resonator and curved microfiber

The evanescent coupling from a photonic crystal resonator to a micron-thick optical fiber is investigated in detail by using a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) method. Properly designed photonic crystal cavity and taper structures are proposed, and optimal operating conditions are found to enhance the coupling strength while suppressing other cavity losses including the coupling to the slab propagating mode and to the higher-order fiber mode. In simulation, the coupling into the fundamental fiber mode is discriminated from other cavity losses by spatial and parity filtering of the FDTD results. The coupling efficiency of more than 80% into the fundamental fiber mode together with a total Q factor of 5200 is achieved for the fiber diameter of 1.0 /spl mu/m and the air gap of 200 nm between the fiber and the cavity.

High-frequency Green's function for a semi-infinite array of electric dipoles on an infinite grounded stratified dielectric slab: part III $phase-matched wave interactions and numerical results

The particular effects of phase matching in interactions between different wave species and interaction mechanisms pertaining to the asymptotic Green's function for a semi-infinite phased array of parallel dipoles on an infinite grounded stratified dielectric slab are addressed. The two previous parts have lead to a grouping of certain asymptotic terms, which provides physically appealing interpretations of interacting wave processes that involve slab-modulated propagating (radiating) Floquet waves (FW), slab-guided leaky waves (LW), evanescent (nonradiating) FWs and surface waves (SW), together with their associated conical edge-coupled wave constituents. Special attention is now given to the role, in these wave interaction functions,of the difference between the propagating wave numbers (i.e., the degree of phase matching) that characterizes any pair of propagating FWs and LWs, and evanescent FWs and SWs. Cutoff transitions of FWs from the evanescent to the propagating regime are described also in terms of a second wave interaction function, structured similarly to the first. In connection with applications, the interaction between SWs and evanescent FWs, as well as FW transitions from evanescent to propagating, are discussed from the perspective of scan blindness in actual arrays. Various numerical studies highlight the role of phase matching in different problem scenarios.
