2 Reagentless Grating Coupler Sensor Angle, θ, is related to the analyte refractive index n superstrate (n eff ) p = sin(θ)n superstrate + λm/λ

3 Reagentless Grating Coupler Sensor Prism coupling condition p i sin(θ) = p g k i sin(θ) = k g 2πsin(θ)/λ i = 2π /λ g sin(θ) /c i = /c g [c = λ] sin(θ)n i /c o = n g /c o sin(θ)n i = n g [c = c o n] Grating coupling condition sin(θ)n i + λm/λ = n g n i n g refractive index of the superstrate (incident beam) effective refractive index of the guide

4 Reagentless Grating Coupler Sensor Angle, θ, is related to the antibody-analyte complex refractive index if the analyte is large: n (physiological saline) ~1.333

5 Reagentless Grating Coupler Sensor Angle, θ, is related to the antibody-analyte complex refractive index if the analyte is large: n (physiological saline) ~1.333 n (protein) ~1.5

6 Reagentless Grating Coupler Sensor Angle, θ, is related to the antibody-analyte complex refractive index if the analyte is large: A plot of coupling angle against analyte concentration gives a calibration curve against which unknown analyte concentrations can be determined

9 MACH-ZEHNDER INTERFEROMETER If both arms of the above integrated optical waveguide are identical the inputted light will split and then recombine constructively.

10 MACH-ZEHNDER INTERFEROMETER The propagation velocity in the wave guide depends on the superstrate refractive index

11 Propagation velocity in the wave guide = 2πk o ʋn eff n eff = function of n superstrate, n core and n substrate Superstrate, e.g. air, analyte solution Waveguide, e.g. metal phosphate glass Substrate, e.g. glass, silica n superstrate n core n substrate

13 MACH-ZEHNDER INTERFEROMETER The propagation velocity in the wave guide depends on the superstrate refractive index When the superstrate is the different over the arms of the Mach-Zehnder sensor there is destructive interference on leaving the arms

14 MACH-ZEHNDER INTERFEROMETER An immunosensor can be fabricated by immobilising an antibody on both arms of an integrated planar optical waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer

15 MACH-ZEHNDER INTERFEROMETER Binding a large analyte, e.g. protein, to only ONE arm of the sensor changes the superstrate refractive over that arm and leads to destructive recombination. The resultant change in the observed intensity of the output light can be related to the analyte concentration
