Research interests
The research is focused on optical waveguides for trapping and sensing.
Waveguides can be used to trap, propel and detect nano- and microparticles. We have demonstrated that the waveguides can be used to squeeze red blood cells, which can be used to measure their elasticity. The elasticity of red blood cells is very important for their functions in the body and the measured elasticity was related to how long the cells had been stored. Regarding trapping of microparticles, a small gap (2um) in a waveguide loop can tightly trap a microparticle, while a wider gap (10um) can be used to levitate a particle above the surface of the chip. When a microparticle is trapped on a waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer, it induces a measureable phase change, which can be related to the size of the trapped particle.
Waveguides can be used to make highly sensitive interferometers. In order to detect methane, we cover the waveguide (sensing arm) by a polymer (SAN) doped with a cage-shaped molecule (cryptophane-A). Methane diffuses into the polymer and is trapped in the cage-molecule. This gives a change in the refractive index of the polymer, which gives a phase-change for the evanescent field of the guided mode. This is detected by the interferometer and can be related to the concentration of methane. We have used this method to measure the methane concentration down to 6 ppm.
