摘要

An on-chip multi-trench waveguide-based biosensor is designed to detect a broad range of refractive indices (RI) across diverse biological and biochemical samples. The biosensor is designed to operate on the principle that variations in RI produce a measurable shift in wavelength. Upon contact with the sensing surface, changes in the analyte’s RI alter its optical properties, leading to a wavelength shift. The design consists of a TeO2 core with multi-trenches on both sides of the core region, fabricated on a sapphire substrate. The results indicate that the reported waveguide-based biosensor exhibits a high sensitivity, i.e., 1000 nm/RIU, and a low detection limit of 0.025 RIU, for the RI range 1.30–1.40.
