OPTIMIZING SOI SLOT WAVEGUIDE FABRICATION TOLERANCES AND STRIP-SLOT COUPLING FOR VERY EFFICIENT OPTICAL SENSING

Optimizing SOI Slot Waveguide Fabrication Tolerances and Strip-Slot Coupling for Very Efficient Optical Sensing

Slot waveguides are becoming more and more attractive optical components, especially for chemical and bio-chemical sensing.In this paper an accurate analysis of slot waveguide fabrication tolerances is carried out, in order to find optimum design criteria Pates Dips for either homogeneous or absorption sensing mechanisms, in cases of low and high a

The Future of Voltammetry

It is exactly one hundred years ago when the first paper about the development of polarography was published in 1922.Polarography is considered a predecessor of voltammetry, and this iconic electrochemical technique was designed by the Nobel laureate Jaroslav Heyrovsky.In this short review, the aim Front Closure Bras is to highlight some of the mos
