Abstract

The present invention discloses a refractive index sensor based on a metal-dielectric-metal waveguide Bragg grating, which includes a metal-dielectric-metal waveguide, a metal film in the waveguide and a Bragg grating structure, and the width of the waveguide is w , the medium in the waveguide is air, the Bragg grating structure is formed by periodic arrangement of unit A and unit B, and the period number of the Bragg grating is N , the width and length of the unit A are respectively w A and d A , the width and length of unit B are respectively w B and d B . By introducing a metal-Bragg grating structure into the metal-dielectric-metal waveguide, the optical Tamm-like state on the interface between the metal and the Bragg grating is effectively excited. The refractive index sensor device has a simple structure, easy preparation, small size, and fast sensing. , and the working wavelength is adjustable, so it has important application prospects in the fields of photonic integration and all-optical networks 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, ...
