Abstract

The invention provides a lithium niobate optical sensor and method based on Bloch surface waves. The lithium niobate optical sensor sequentially comprises an optical prism, a periodic photonic crystaland a lithium niobate light absorption dielectric layer from bottom to top. The periodic photonic crystal is formed by alternately arranging a high-refractive-index material and a low-refractive-index material for N periods. The BSW is excited through the multilayer film structure, and an electric field which is strong enough is formed at the light absorption dielectric layer, so that the lithiumniobate can strongly absorb light waves with the frequency of the BSW, and a resonance peak is formed in a reflection spectrum. A relationship between the formant wavelength or azimuth angle and therefractive index of the to-be-detected sample is established, and dynamic detection and qualitative analysis of the refractive index of the to-be-detected sample are realized by detecting the drift ofthe formant wavelength or angle. The sensor is simple to manufacture, can detect an object to be detected repeatedly in real time, and is a photonic crystal refractive index sensor with high sensitivity and high quality factor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical technology science, and in particular relates to a lithium niobate optical sensor and method based on Bloch surface waves. Background technique [0002] The optical refractive index sensor is a multidisciplinary field such as optics, solid state physics, microelectronics science, and materials science. Specifically, it detects the concentration and tissue composition of the sample by changing the refractive index of the sample to be tested. The quantity is converted into a changing light signal through a specific response in the sensor, and the light signal is detected to reflect the change of the measured object. This sensor has the characteristics of fast detection, high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability, and has a wide range of applications in food safety, medical diagnosis, environmental detection and national defense technology. [0003] In recent decades, label-free optical detection m...
