Comprehensive study of reverse index waveguide based sensor with metamaterial as a guiding layer

Abstract

Comprehensive analysis of reverse index waveguide based sensor with metamaterial as a guiding layer to achieve high sensitivity for detection of microbe has been made. The detection will be done of larger cells like bacteria using reverse index profile of waveguide in four layer planar waveguide structure. Proposed four layer structure has larger adlayer sensitivity over the similar waveguide based sensor having dielectric material as guiding layer.
