Abstract

The invention discloses a reflective index sensor based on a metal-medium-metal waveguide and a Bragg grating. The reflective index sensor comprises a metal-medium-metal waveguide, metal film in the waveguide and a Bragg grating structure, wherein the width of the waveguide is w, the medium in the waveguide is air, the Bragg grating structure is composed of units A and units B which are arranged in a periodic mode, the periodic number of the Bragg grating is N, the width and the length of each unit A are wA and dA respectively, and the width and the length of each unit B are wB and dB respectively. By introducing the metal-Bragg grating structure into the metal-medium-metal waveguide, the para-optical Tamm state on the metal and Bragg grating interface is effectively motivated, the reflective index sensor has the advantages that the structure is simple, preparation is easy, the size is small, sensing is fast, and the working wavelength is adjustable and the like, so that the reflectiveindex sensor has important application prospects in the fields of photonic integration, all optical networks and the like in the future.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal-medium-metal waveguide Bragg grating-based refractive index sensor, which can be used in the field of nanophotonics and integrated optical technology. Background technique [0002] Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are localized electromagnetic modes localized on the surface of metals / dielectrics. Through the oscillation coupling of electromagnetic waves in the optical frequency band and free electrons in noble metals, the energy of the electromagnetic field is confined to a more within a small scale. The oscillation frequency of this mode is jointly determined by the refractive index of the noble metal and its surrounding environment, so it is very sensitive to the surrounding refractive index environment. In recent years, there are two kinds of surface plasmons used for refractive index sensing, one is surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and the other is localized surface plasmon (localized surface plasmon) resonance, ...
