Sub-wavelength gratings in silicon photonic devices for mid-infrared spectroscopy and sensing
Mid-infrared spectroscopy enabled by silicon photonics has received great interest in recent years as a pathway for a scalable sensing technology. The development of such devices would realise inexpensive and accessible instrumentation for a wide variety of uses over numerous fields. However, not every sensing application is the same; to produce sensors for real-world scenarios, engineers need flexibility in device design but also need to maintain compatibility with scalable fabrication processes. Sub-wavelength gratings can offer a solution to this problem, as they enable the engineering of optical properties using standard fabrication techniques and without requiring new materials. By using sub-wavelength gratings, specific design approaches can be tailored to different applications, such as increasing the interaction of a sensor with an analyte or broadening the bandwidth of an integrated photonic device. Here, we review the development of sub-wavelength grating-based devices for mid-infrared silicon photonics and discuss how they can be exploited for spectroscopic and sensing devices.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
