    Spectral evolution with incremental nanocoating of long period fiber gratings
    (Optical Society of America, 2006) Del Villar, Ignacio; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Achaerandio Alvira, Miguel; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    The incremental deposition of a thin overlay on the cladding of a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) induces important resonance wavelength shifts in the transmission spectrum. The phenomenon is proved theoretically with a vectorial method based on hybrid modes and coupled mode theory, and experimentally with electrostatic self-assembly monolayer process. The phenomenon is repeated periodically for specific overlay thickness values with the particularity that the shape of the resonance wavelength shift depends on the thickness of the overlay. The main applications are the design of wide optical filters and multiparameter sensing devices.

    Generation of lossy mode resonances with absorbing thin-films
    (IEEE, 2010) Del Villar, Ignacio; Ruiz Zamarreño, Carlos; Hernáez Sáenz de Zaitigui, Miguel; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    The generation of lossy mode resonances with absorbing thin-films is analyzed with electromagnetic theory. The main differences with surface plasmon resonances are presented and some rules are given towards an optimum design of sensing devices based on absorbing thin-film coated silica substrates. The material selected for the absorbing thin-film is ITO, which is adequate for supporting both surface plasmon resonances and lossy mode resonances.

    Fringe generation with non-uniformly coated long-period fiber gratings
    (Optical Society of America, 2007) Del Villar, Ignacio; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Cusano, Andrea; Paladino, Domenico; Cutolo, Antonello; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    In this work, the spectral characteristics of non-uniform symmetrically ring shaped coatings deposited on long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) have been theoretically and experimentally investigated. To optimize the structure performances, the device was designed with a simulation tool based on vectorial analysis of modes in a multilayer cylindrical waveguide and coupled mode theory. Electrostatic selfassembling technique was selected to deposit with fine control uniform azimuthally symmetric coatings on the cladding of the LPFG. UV laser micromachining operating at 193nm was used to selectively remove the coating with high spatial resolution and with azimuthal symmetry. By locally and selectively removing portions of the overlay surrounding the LPFG from the middle of the grating, strong modifications of its spectral characteristics were observed. Phase-shift effects and multiple interference fringes have been observed for all the attenuation bands, strongly depending on the length of the uncoated region and the overlay features (thickness and optical properties). This provides a valid technological platform for the development of advanced photonic devices for sensing and telecommunication applications.
