Abstract

We demonstrate a diode laser chemical sensor incorporating a self-aligned, symmetrically clad high index contrast evanescent field sensing waveguide. This is accomplished by selectively oxidizing the lower cladding layer of the sensing waveguide. An analyte overlap of 4.8% is obtained with a tightly confined mode, ideal for sensitive affinity assays.
