    Is there a frontier in sensitivity with lossy mode resonance (LMR) based refractometers?
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2017) Ozcariz Celaya, Aritz; Ruiz Zamarreño, Carlos; Zubiate Orzanco, Pablo; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    A tin dioxide thin layer has been studied in order to improve the sensitivity of lossy mode resonances (LMR) based sensors. The effects of the thin film thickness and the polarization of light in a SnO2 coated D-shaped single mode optical fiber have been evaluated. The optimization of such parameters in the fabrication of refractometers have led to an unprecedented sensitivity of over one million nanometers per refractive index unit (RIU), which means a sensitivity below 10^(−9) RIU with a pm resolution detector. This achievement is a milestone for the development of new high sensitivity devices and opens the door to new industrial applications, such as gear oil degradation, or biomedical devices where previous devices could not provide enough sensitivity.

    Aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) coated optical fiber LMR refractometers. An experimental demonstration
    (Elsevier, 2019) Ozcariz Celaya, Aritz; Piña-Azamar, Dafne A.; Ruiz Zamarreño, Carlos; Domínguez Cruz, René; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua
    This work presents the experimental demonstration of lossy mode resonance generation by means of aluminum doped zinc oxide thin-films. The use of such material may allow to optimize the performance of LMR-based sensors, obtaining good sensitivity at lower costs than other overlays, such as those including indium. The refractometric response of the fabricated devices is explored in different spectral regions. One refractometer working in the near infrared region was fabricated, obtaining a sensitivity of 2280 nm/RIU. A second refractometer working in the visible light spectrum was also fabricated. This second device allows to observe rough refractive index variations with the naked eye as a change of the color of the light propagating through the fiber, simplifying the setup needed for its use.

    Copper oxide coated D-shaped optical fibers for the development of LMR refractometers
    (IEEE, 2020) Ozcariz Celaya, Aritz; Vitoria Pascual, Ignacio; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Ruiz Zamarreño, Carlos; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA26
    Lossy mode resonance (LMR) based refractometers obtained by means of copper oxide thin-films fabricated onto side-polished (D-shaped) are presented in this work. The high refractive index of copper oxide combined with the propagation mode isolation capabilities of D-shaped fibers allows for the observation of narrow (30 nm) and high sensitive (10,336 nm per refractive index unit) LMRs, which could enable to improve the performance of LMR-based refractometers as well as provide an alternative label-free sensing platform for LMR-based sensors.
