    High sensitivity lossy-mode resonance refractometer using low refractive index PFA planar waveguide
    (Elsevier, 2023) Domínguez Rodríguez, Ismel; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ascorbe Muruzabal, Joaquín; Del Villar, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    In this work a new strategy to improve the sensitivity of refractometers based on lossy-mode resonances has been proved. The proximity of the PFA (tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoro polymer) substrate refractive index to that of water has permitted to implement an optical refractometer with a sensitivity of 41,034 nm per refractive index unit (nm/RIU) for refractive indices ranging from 1.3318 to 1.3347. The work is supported with both theoretical and experimental results. This high sensitivity can be used for the development of LMR based chemical sensors and biosensors, where a low limit of detection is required, with the additional advantage of a simple disposable planar configuration.

    Generation of lossy mode resonances in planar waveguides toward development of humidity sensors
    (IEEE, 2019) Fuentes Lorenzo, Omar; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Del Villar, Ignacio; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    Lossy mode resonances (LMRs) are typically obtained with optical fibre. The Kretschmann configuration is an alternative but LMRs are generated with angles approaching grazing incidence. In this work, a new setup is explored, based on the lateral incidence of light on conventional planar waveguides such as glass slides or coverslips. Indium tin oxide was deposited onto both types of waveguides generating LMRs. The results of the simulations carried out agree well with the experimental results. As an example of the potential of this new and simple optical configuration, a humidity sensor with a sensitivity of 0.212 nm/% relative humidity (RH) in the range from 65% to 90% of RH was developed, which expedites the development of other types of sensors already explored with LMR-based optical fibre sensors.

    Multichannel refractometer based on lossy mode resonances
    (IEEE, 2022) Fuentes Lorenzo, Omar; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Domínguez Rodríguez, Ismel; Del Villar, Ignacio; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    In this work a new multiparameter sensor platform based on lossy mode resonances is presented. The structure consists of a soda-lime optical slab waveguide butt-coupled to multimode optical fibers. A variable thickness thin-film is deposited to generate multiple independent resonances on the same waveguide, which can be monitored using a single spectrometer. In order to show the potentiality of the structure, a broad resonance was selectively narrowed by etching sections of the LMR producer thin film. The spectral width is progressively reduced, allowing to selectively isolate independent resonances, which opens the path for multiple LMR generation in the same spectra in a multiparameter sensing platform. The experimental results were corroborated with a theoretical analysis based on the finite difference method (FDM). As a proof of concept, two refractometers on the same waveguide were fabricated and tested using PDMS cells. This platform can be easily miniaturized in order to integrate multiple sensors at low cost, what can be of interest for the development of multi-analyte biosensors probes. IEEE

    Sensors based on thin-film coated cladding removed multimode optical fiber and single-mode multimode single-mode fiber: a comparative study
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015) Del Villar, Ignacio; Socorro Leránoz, Abián Bentor; Hernáez Sáenz de Zaitigui, Miguel; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Ruiz Zamarreño, Carlos; Sánchez Zábal, Pedro; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    Two simple optical fibre structures that do not require the inscription of a grating, a cladding removed multimode optical fibre (CRMOF) and a single-mode multimode single-mode structure (SMS), are compared in terms of their adequateness for sensing once they are coated with thin-films.The thin-film deposited (TiO2/PSS) permits increasing the sensitivity to surrounding medium refractive index. The results obtained can be extrapolated to other fields such as biological or chemical sensing just by replacing the thin-film by a specific material.

    Metallic-dielectric layer based hyperbolic mode resonances in planar waveguides
    (IEEE, 2024) González Salgueiro, Lázaro José; Del Villar, Ignacio; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Goicoechea Fernández, Javier; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    In this research article, we present a comprehensive investigation into the integration of dielectric and metallic layers on optical waveguides, specifically targeting sensing applications. By utilizing a single bilayer of metal and dielectric on a planar waveguide that meets the conditions of a hyperbolic metamaterial, we significantly enhance the visibility of lossy mode resonances generated with a single dielectric layer, in what can be considered as a hyperbolic mode resonance (HMR), without compromising sensitivity. This improvement leads to an enhanced figure of merit and a reduction of the signal-to-noise ratio. Real-time evolution of spectra during the dielectric layer deposition allows us to establish a map of the multiple phenomena involved, such as surface plasmon resonance, lossy mode resonance, and mode transition. Combining these phenomena in a single structure leads to an unprecedented enhancement in sensing capabilities, demonstrating the potential of dielectric-metallic layer integration on optical waveguides for advanced sensing applications. Moreover, the optimized sensing performance offers promising opportunities for on-chip sensing devices and various applications in biomedicine, environmental monitoring, and chemical analysis.

    Generation of lossy mode resonances in a broadband range with multilayer coated coverslips optimized for humidity sensing
    (Elsevier, 2020) Bohórquez Navarro, Dina Luz; Del Villar, Ignacio; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Coverslips deposited with a metallic oxide can be employed for generating lossy mode resonances by lateral incidence of light on the coverslip. Here it is demonstrated that with copper oxide the fading observed with other materials in the near infrared (NIR) wavelength range is avoided and LMRs can be obtained in a broadband range from 400 to 1700 nm, which permitted to observe the better performance in the NIR region compared to the visible region: the sensitivity to humidity is improved by more than a factor of two. However, copper oxide is not adequate for sensing humidity. The sensitivity of the device was optimized initially with a tin oxide coating and later with an additional layer of agarose, specifically adequate for the detection of humidity. The best performance was obtained with an agarose concentration 1% w/v, which permitted to observe a 10-fold sensitivity increase compared to the same device without agarose. This opens the path towards the development of environmental, chemical or biological sensors with an optimized sensitivity to a specific parameter to detect.

    In the last 4 years, experimental evidences about the potential use of optical sensors based on Lossy Mode Resonances (LMR) have been presented in the literature. These LMR sensors have some similarities with Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors, the gold standard in label-free, real-time biomolecular interaction analysis. In these new LMR sensors, if the non-metallic nanocladding of an optical waveguide fulfills the conditions explained in this work, coupling of light to the cladding modes happens at certain resonance wavelengths, which enables the use of LMR devices as refractometers and opens the door to diverse applications such as in biology and proteomics research. These highly sensitive refractometers have already shown sensitivities higher than 20,000 nm/RIU or 5x10-7 RIU and, given the youth of this field, it is expected to achieve even better values.

    Simultaneous generation of surface plasmon and lossy mode resonances in the same planar platform
    (MDPI, 2022) Fuentes Lorenzo, Omar; Del Villar, Ignacio; Domínguez Catena, Iris; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    A planar waveguide consisting of a coverslip for a microscope glass slide was deposited in one of its two faces with two materials: silver and indium tin oxide (ITO). The incidence of light by the edge of the coverslip permitted the generation of both surface plasmon and lossy mode resonances (SPRs and LMRs) in the same transmission spectrum with a single optical source and detector. This proves the ability of this optical platform to be used as a benchmark for comparing different optical phenomena generated by both metal and dielectric materials, which can be used to progress in the assessment of different sensing technologies. Here the SPR and the LMR were compared in terms of sensitivity to refractive index and figure of merit (FoM), at the same time it was demonstrated that both resonances can operate independently when silver and ITO coated regions are surrounded by different refractive index liquids. The results were supported with numerical results that confirm the experimental ones.

    Electrochemical lossy mode resonance for the detection of manganese ions
    (Elsevier, 2023) Domínguez Rodríguez, Ismel; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Del Villar, Ignacio; Mozo, Juan D.; Simerova, Radka; Sezemsky, Petr; Stranak, Vitezslav; Śmietana, Mateusz; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    In this work we propose electrochemical lossy mode resonance (eLMR) as a powerful method for the detection of manganese (Mn) ions. The sensor is based on a simple planar waveguide (sodasingle bondlime glass coverslip) coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO) to obtain an optical resonance effect. Simultaneously, the ITO layer served as the working electrode in the cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV) of Mn. The eLMR sensor is capable of simultaneously performing electrochemical (EC) and optical measurements, specifically lossy mode resonance (LMR), to monitor the growth of the adsorbed Mn layer on the ITO electrode and the electrochemically modulated diffusion layer. For Mn2+ ions, a limit of detection (LoD) of 1.26 ppb has been demonstrated using the EC method, whereas the optical method exhibited a LoD of 67.76 ppb. The results obtained indicate significant potential for application in molecular electrochemistry and studies focused on electrified interfaces.
