Surface energy transfer enhanced by optical cavity excitation: a pole analysis

Design parameters and sensitivity analysis of polymer-cladded porous silicon waveguides for small molecule detection

“…Since the data in Fig. 2(a) was taken from a single sample, the cladding thickness could not be optimum for all modes (Saarinen et al, 2005;Sipe and Becher, 1982). The polymer cladding thickness can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the formvar polymer solution.…”

“…Note that this theory does not apply to the infiltration of liquids that fill the entire volume of the porous waveguide. The electric field in each layer of the waveguide structure is found based on transfer matrix theory (Yeh, 1998), and the thickness of the cladding layer is optimized to yield deep and narrow waveguide resonances based on the pole expansion method described in (Saarinen et al, 2005;Sipe and Becher, 1982). With ε(x) = 2n n, (N 2 ) = 2N N, and N = n p sin Â, we present an analytical expression of the sensitivity of the waveguide for TE modes…”

Surface electrodynamics: radiation fields, surface polaritons, and radiation remnants

“…= j is impossible. The outside lobes (lcos $1 > Iln), result from coupling through an evanescent field in the vacuum into propagating fields in the medium (since 6 the radiation remnant field structures we discuss in the next section. Now let us suppose E = 1; that is, we really have'a vacuum both above and beneath the line dipole.…”

Enhanced PNA detection sensitivity based on polymer-cladded porous silicon waveguide

“…From the pole expansion method stated in [18], [19], we know that the optimum cladding thickness is related to the resonance angle; different order modes have different optimum cladding thickness. Therefore, for a single PSi sample, the cladding thickness can only be optimized based on one single mode.…”
