This invention discloses an
alcohol detection
chip and detection method based on a cascaded dual-ring
resonator with dual-gradient curvature, belonging to the field of optical micro-nano sensing and
integrated optics technology. This invention aims to solve the technical problems of low sensitivity, poor resolution, complex
spectral analysis, and weak environmental adaptability in traditional micro-ring sensing devices, as well as the low detection accuracy of existing miniaturized equipment. The
chip uses a
silicon-based substrate and includes input and output waveguides, cascaded dual micro-rings, a
coupling region, and two sets of miniature heating electrodes. The micro-rings employ dual-gradient waveguides with circular and Euler-circular curved structures for the inner and outer curves, respectively. The cascaded dual rings create a
vernier effect, broadening the
free spectral range. By adjusting the resonant
wavelength through the heating electrodes, scanning detection is completed in the characteristic
alcohol band around 1400nm, and high-precision
alcohol measurement is achieved by combining
transmission spectroscopy. This invention has a compact structure and low cost, and is suitable for rapid quantitative detection of alcohol in
industrial monitoring,
vehicle safety,
food safety, and other scenarios.
