Waveguide Characterization and Biosensor Modeling. Edition No. 1

VDM Publishing House, February 2009, Pages: 100

'Waveguide Characterization and Biosensor Modeling'
covers diverse topics including wave optics,
lithography techniques and optical waveguide
characterization. The book begins with an
introduction to biosensors development and
description of SPARROW biosensor. Wave optics and
interaction of light at the boundaries are discussed
to help understand light propagation in
waveguides. Chapter 2 discusses the theoretical
background of symmetrical and symmetrical waveguides
along with a brief introduction to topics like
coupled mode theory and frustrated total internal
reflection. Prominent loss mechanisms in the
waveguides have been discussed including absorption,
scattering and radiation losses. Evanescent wave and
the importance of penetration depth for the
operation of SPARROW biosensor have been explained
in detail. Modal analysis required for modeling the
biosensor has been studied in detail. Waveguide loss
calculation using image processing techniques has
also been discussed. PDMS mold preparation and
bonding to alumina surface is discussed. This should
be a interesting book to all students and would give
exposure to current techniques.
