Aiming efficient multiple simultaneous detection, two different designs of power splitters for single source feeding of an N-array biosensors operating at 1550 nm are here proposed and thoroughly compared and discussed. Taking into account the need for micro guiding structures, simpler and cheaper manufacturing processes, SU-8 polymer is adopted as the core material. Our first proposal is based on a cascade arranged directional couplers (DC) with a footprint of mm2, uniform power division and losses of dB. The second proposal is based on a multimode interference device (MMI) exhibiting a compact footprint of mm2, highly uniform power division and significant low losses of dB.

用于多路复用光学生物传感器的聚合物功率分配器
为了实现有效的多重同时检测,两种不同的设计 本文提出并彻底比较和讨论了用于在1550 nm下运行的N阵列生物传感器的单源馈电的功率分配器。考虑到对微引导结构的需求,更简单和更便宜的制造工艺,采用SU-8聚合物作为核心材料。我们的第一个建议是基于级联排列的定向耦合器(DC),其占位面积为mm 2,均匀的功率分配和损耗D b。第二个建议是基于多模干扰设备(MMI),该设备的占位面积小,mm 2,高度均匀的功率分配,损耗低 D b。
