背景技术Background technique
光学生化传感技术在重大疾病检测、新型药物创制、环境安全监测等领域具有广阔的应用前景。集成波导光学生化传感器基于光学波导微结构感知单元,利用待测物质与光波相互作用,从而使光波的某些物理参量,如波长、强度、相位、偏振等,发生变化,通过对这些物理参量的测量来获得待测物质的浓度、类别等信息,具有所需样品量少、体积小、能耗低等优势,因而受到极大关注。基于波导光栅、波导杨氏干涉结构、波导微环等结构的集成波导光学生化传感器相继报道。Optical biochemical sensing technology has broad application prospects in major disease detection, new drug creation, environmental safety monitoring and other fields. The integrated waveguide optical biochemical sensor is based on the optical waveguide microstructure sensing unit, which uses the interaction between the substance to be measured and the light wave, so that some physical parameters of the light wave, such as wavelength, intensity, phase, polarization, etc., change. Measurement to obtain information such as the concentration and category of the substance to be tested has the advantages of less sample required, small volume, and low energy consumption, so it has received great attention. Integrated waveguide optical biochemical sensors based on waveguide grating, waveguide Young's interference structure, waveguide microring and other structures have been reported successively.
在先技术[1](M.Mendez-Astudillo,H.Takahisa,H.Okayama and H.Nakajima.“Optical refractive index biosensor using evanescently coupled lateral Bragggratings on silicon-on-insulator,”Japanese Journal of Applied Physics,2016,Vol.55,No.8S3,pp.08RE09)中,采用侧边刻蚀的布拉格波导光栅为传感单元,利用波导光栅的布拉格波长随上包层折射率改变的漂移特性来进行传感检测。虽然该传感器结构较为紧凑,但是其传感灵敏度较低。Prior art [1] (M.Mendez-Astudillo, H.Takahisa, H.Okayama and H.Nakajima. "Optical refractive index biosensor using evanescently coupled lateral Bragggratings on silicon-on-insulator," Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 2016 , Vol.55, No.8S3, pp.08RE09), the side-etched Bragg waveguide grating is used as the sensing unit, and the drift characteristic of the Bragg wavelength of the waveguide grating with the change of the refractive index of the upper cladding is used for sensing and detection . Although the sensor has a relatively compact structure, its sensing sensitivity is low.
在先技术[2](D.Hradetzky,C.Mueller and H.Reinecke.“Interferometriclabel-free biomolecular detection system,”Journal of Optics A:Pure andApplied Optics,2006,Vol.8,No.7,pp.S360–S364)中,采用波导耦合光栅和双直波导构成杨氏干涉结构作为传感单元,利用杨氏干涉条纹的变化来获知待测样品折射率的改变量。该传感器系统采用体光学器件来分光,分别经波导耦合光栅耦合进入、出双直波导,需要精确的对准,因此系统体积庞大、结构复杂。Prior art [2] (D.Hradetzky, C.Mueller and H.Reinecke. "Interferometric label-free biomolecular detection system," Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied Optics, 2006, Vol.8, No.7, pp.S360 In –S364), a Young’s interference structure composed of a waveguide coupling grating and a double straight waveguide is used as the sensing unit, and the change of the refractive index of the sample to be measured is obtained by using the change of the Young’s interference fringes. The sensor system uses bulk optics to split the light, which is coupled into and out of the double straight waveguide through the waveguide coupling grating respectively, requiring precise alignment, so the system is bulky and complex in structure.

"Chip-scale hybrid optical sensingsystems using digital signal processing," Optics Express, 2009, Vol.17, No.1, pp.150-155) , using an integrated waveguide microring as the sensing unit, and a sensing demodulation system based on a broadband light source, an arrayed waveguide grating and an arrayed photodetector. Although the waveguide microring has a high quality factor, the limited spectral resolution of arrayed waveguide gratings limits the performance of the sensor and increases the difficulty and complexity of the system.

因上支路与下支路的波导结构不同,包括S型弯曲波导1和S型弯曲波导2的长度不同、直波导1和直波导2的宽度不同、S型弯曲波导3和S型弯曲波导4的长度不同,光波在上支路与下支路中传播产生相位差表示为Because the waveguide structures of the upper branch and the lower branch are different, including the length of the S-bend waveguide 1 and the S-bend waveguide 2, the width of the straight waveguide 1 and the straight waveguide 2, the S-bend waveguide 3 and the S-bend waveguide The length of 4 is different, and the light wave propagates in the upper branch and the lower branch to produce a phase difference Expressed as
其中为上支路与下支路中直波导的相位差,为上支路与下支路中S型弯曲波导的相位差in is the phase difference between the straight waveguides in the upper branch and the lower branch, is the phase difference of the S-shaped curved waveguide in the upper branch and the lower branch

当上包层折射率发生变化即待测溶液的浓度发生改变时,波导的有效折射率neff1(λ)和neff2(λ)发生改变,从而引起光波在上支路与下支路中传播产生的相位差发生改变。因光波在上支路与下支路中传播产生的相位差与光波波长是非线性的关系,所以会引起输出干涉光波功率谱的急剧分裂,即光谱中干涉极值的波长发生分离,通过检测干涉极值波长的改变量,获知上包层折射率的改变量,进而得到待测溶液的浓度。When the refractive index of the upper cladding changes, that is, when the concentration of the solution to be measured changes, the effective refractive indices n eff1 (λ) and n eff2 (λ) of the waveguide change, causing light waves to propagate in the upper branch and the lower branch resulting phase difference changes happened. Because the phase difference generated by the propagation of the light wave in the upper branch and the lower branch has a nonlinear relationship with the wavelength of the light wave, it will cause a sharp split of the output interference light wave power spectrum, that is, the wavelength of the interference extreme value in the spectrum is separated. By detecting the interference The amount of change of the extreme wavelength can be used to obtain the change amount of the upper cladding refractive index, and then the concentration of the solution to be measured can be obtained.

实施例。Example.
图2是本发明实施例基于光谱分裂的集成波导光学生化传感器系统。宽谱光源发出一定光谱宽度的光波经梯形波导1进入多模波导1,分成两路由梯形波导2和梯形波导3分别输出,图3是梯形波导1、多模波导1、梯形波导2和梯形波导3构成光分路结构图,其中:W2=1μm,Ltaper_M=62μm,Wtaper=2.2μm,D=4.6μm,WM=9μm,LM=74μm。图4是光波在该光分路结构中传播的仿真结果。光波从梯形波导2和梯形波导3分别进入上支路与下支路中传播。Fig. 2 is an integrated waveguide optical biochemical sensor system based on spectrum splitting according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wide-spectrum light source emits a light wave with a certain spectral width through the trapezoidal waveguide 1 and enters the multimode waveguide 1, and is divided into two routes, the trapezoidal waveguide 2 and the trapezoidal waveguide 3, respectively output. Figure 3 shows the trapezoidal waveguide 1, multimode waveguide 1, trapezoidal waveguide 2 and trapezoidal waveguide 3 Construct the optical branch structure diagram, wherein: W 2 =1 μm, L taper_M =62 μm, W taper =2.2 μm, D=4.6 μm, W M =9 μm, L M =74 μm. Fig. 4 is a simulation result of light waves propagating in the optical branching structure. Light waves propagate from the trapezoidal waveguide 2 and the trapezoidal waveguide 3 into the upper branch and the lower branch respectively.
待测溶液由微流控通道流经上支路与下支路。图5是传感器中直波导1和直波导2的横截面结构图。直波导1的芯层宽带W1=1.4μm,直波导2的芯层宽度W2=1μm,直波导1和直波导2的芯层高度H=1.2μm。光波在上支路与下支路中传播,倏逝波与波导上包层的待测溶液发生相互作用。图6是不同折射率nc的待测溶液流经上支路与下支路的条件下,光波在上支路与下支路中传播产生相位差。由图6可以看出相位差与光波波长是非线性的关系。图7是上支路与下支路中的光波经由梯形波导4、梯形波导5和多模波导2构成的光合路结构后输出至光谱分析仪测量得到的光谱图。可以看出,因相位差与光波波长的非线性关系,当待测溶液的折射率发生改变时,输出光谱发生急剧分裂,干涉极小值的波长发生分离。图8给出了待测溶液折射率改变量与干涉极值波长分离量的对应关系曲线。根据图8,通过检测干涉极值波长的改变量,获知上包层折射率的改变量Δnc,进而得到待测溶液的浓度。The solution to be tested flows through the upper branch and the lower branch through the microfluidic channel. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional structure diagram of the straight waveguide 1 and the straight waveguide 2 in the sensor. The core width W 1 of the straight waveguide 1 = 1.4 μm, the core width W 2 of the straight waveguide 2 = 1 μm, and the core height H of the straight waveguide 1 and the straight waveguide 2 = 1.2 μm. The light wave propagates in the upper branch and the lower branch, and the evanescent wave interacts with the solution to be measured in the upper cladding of the waveguide. Fig. 6 shows that under the condition that the solutions to be tested with different refractive indices n c flow through the upper branch and the lower branch, the light wave propagates in the upper branch and the lower branch to generate a phase difference. It can be seen from Figure 6 that the phase difference It has a non-linear relationship with the wavelength of light. Fig. 7 is a spectrum diagram obtained by measuring the light waves in the upper branch and the lower branch after passing through the optical combined circuit structure formed by the trapezoidal waveguide 4, the trapezoidal waveguide 5 and the multimode waveguide 2 and then outputting to the spectrum analyzer. It can be seen that due to the phase difference The nonlinear relationship with the wavelength of the light wave, when the refractive index of the solution to be measured changes, the output spectrum splits sharply, and the wavelength of the interference minimum value is separated. Figure 8 shows the corresponding relationship curve between the amount of change in the refractive index of the solution to be measured and the amount of wavelength separation of the interference extremum. According to FIG. 8 , the change amount Δn c of the upper cladding refractive index is obtained by detecting the change amount of the interference extreme wavelength, and then the concentration of the solution to be measured is obtained.
