Multi-sensing arrays of separately accessible integrated optics sensors (TOE.6596)

Project nummer: toe6596

Omschrijving van het onderzoek

There is a strong need in e.g. food processing, health care and environmental pollution control for small-size multi-sensing systems with very low detection limit and very high resolution for on line in situ measurement of concentrations of chemical or biological compounds. Integrated optical sensors are excellent candidates to fulfil these needs and in some cases they have already proven to be capable for commercialization.
The original methods rely on theoretical and experimental evaluations of the potential of several novel ideas for developing integrated optical sensors with high resolution and high compactness. Several ideas are based on our recent developments on electro-optically modulated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and other ideas concern a novel sensor concept in the form of a compact resonator related slow light structure. Preliminary simulations show, that high resolution is theoretically feasible.
Demonstrators of both sensor types will be provided of some specific chemo-optical interfaces in close cooperation with one of the companies involved.
