We report a novel Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) sensor that utilizes a weak one-dimensional field confinement silica waveguide (WCSW). The WCSW has a large horizontal and vertical aspect ratio and low refractive index difference, which features easy preparation and a large evanescent field for achieving high waveguide sensitivity. We experimentally achieved WCSW ultrahigh waveguide sensitivity of 0.94, MZI sensitivity of 44,364 π/RIU and a low limit of detection () of 6.1 × 10 RIU.
我们报告了一种新颖的马赫-曾德尔干涉仪(MZI)传感器,该传感器利用了弱一维场限制硅波导(WCSW)。WCSW 具有大的水平和垂直纵横比以及低的折射率差,这一特点使得其易于制备且具有大的消逝场,从而实现了高的波导灵敏度。我们实验实现了 WCSW 的超高波导灵敏度 0.94、MZI 灵敏度 44364π/RIU 和低检测限(LOD)6.1×10RIU。
