Publication Open Access 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 PublikoaIn 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.Publication Open Access Extraordinary sensitivity with quasi-lossy mode resonance mode transition bands in long period fiber gratings(Elsevier, 2025-01-16) González Salgueiro, Lázaro José; Del Villar, Ignacio; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; 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 PublikoaThis study presents a novel sensor design utilizing a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) deposited with a TiO2 nanocoating via atomic layer deposition. The study combines theoretical simulations and experimental validation to optimize the grating period and modulation index to operate in the mode transition with a quasi-lossy mode resonance (LMR) behavior, i.e., the LPFG attenuation bands shift similarly to LMRs. This enables the achievement of a remarkable sensitivity of 78 nm/nm, allowing for the detection of sub-angstrom variations in film thickness, which is critical for applications in semiconductor manufacturing. Our setup facilitates continuous monitoring of the transmission spectrum, enabling real-time adjustments during deposition to maximize sensitivity. As proof of concept for the applicability of the sensor as a refractive index sensor, we demonstrated exceptional sensitivity for nitrogen detection, achieving around 10,000 nm/RIU, with a figure of merit of 200. This marks one the highest sensitivities reported for optical fiber gas sensors and suggests this technology could revolutionize the field duet to its simplicity in terms of sensor design.Publication Embargo Experimental study of sensing performance using hyperbolic mode resonances(Elsevier, 2025-01-01) Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Del Villar, Ignacio; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; González Salgueiro, Lázaro José; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaSurface plasmon resonance (SPR) and lossy mode resonance (LMR) are prominent sensing mechanisms utilized across various fields. The Kretschmann configuration is commonly employed for SPR, while LMR is favored in planar waveguides or optical fibers due to high incidence angles. Recently, hyperbolic mode resonance (HMR) has emerged as a hybrid approach, combining metallic and dielectric thin films. This study explores the impact of incidence angle on HMR using the Kretschmann configuration. Four samples with varying gold (Au) and tin dioxide (SnO2) layer thicknesses were fabricated and characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Experimental setups employed the Kretschmann configuration for reflectance spectrum analysis. Results indicate enhanced sensitivity and figure of merit (FoM) with an additional SnO2 layer compared to the case without SnO2. Particularly with a 36 nm Au thickness the sensitivity doubles and the FoM improves by 16 %. Numerical simulations validate these findings, confirming the optimized performance of HMR for specific layer thicknesses and incidence angles.
