Abstract:
In this project we investigate, implement and optimise evanescent-wave optical devices for physical, chemical and biological sensing applications. Evanescent wave-based optical sensors are of great interest thanks to their large intrinsic sensitivity to small variations in the material properties-especially refractive index-right at the device's interface. We investigate the use of tapered optical fibers and localised surface plasmons.
