At present, the sensing research of the one-dimensional photonic crystal nano beam cavity is mainly used for gas sensing, the optimization of quality factors is focused, and the research on the lower limit of low-concentration detection is not common yet. The concentration detection lower limit represents the minimum value of the concentration of the biological target substance which can be detected by the biosensor and is the most comprehensive index for measuring the performance of the biosensor. If a biosensor with a low concentration detection lower limit is to be obtained, a low refractive index detection lower limit needs to be correspondingly obtained.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Further, it should be understood that various changes or modifications of the present invention may be made by those skilled in the art after reading the teaching of the present invention, and such equivalents may fall within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
The embodiment of the invention relates to a slit-embedded one-dimensional photonic crystal nano-beam cavity biosensor, which refers to fig. 1 and comprises a silicon waveguide 1 and a nano-beam cavity, wherein the nano-beam cavity is positioned on the silicon waveguide 1. The structure of the nano beam cavity is as follows: a row of through holes 3, which are centrosymmetric with respect to the silicon waveguide 1 and embedded in the slit 4, is etched. In this embodiment, the through hole 3 is a circular hole with gradually changing radius, so that the optical field is localized in the slit 4 to realize a first-order dielectric mode sensing nano-beam cavity structure, wherein the refractive index of the silicon waveguide 1 is 3.46, and the width of the silicon waveguide 1 is Wb650nm, the thickness h of the silicon waveguide 1 is 220nm, the lattice constant of the circular hole is constant, and the lattice constant a of the circular hole is 559 nm.
The nano beam cavity of the embodiment is positioned on the top silicon waveguide 1 of the SOI chip with the buried oxide layer 2 removed, and specifically comprises the following steps: the silicon waveguide 1 is provided with extension bodies 1-1 at two ends, and the extension bodies 1-1 are in contact with the buried oxide layer 2 to support the silicon waveguide 1.
Further, in order to obtain the first-order dielectric mode harmonic peak, the radius of the circular hole needs to be decreased from the middle to two sides twice, so that the first-order dielectric mode of the middle primitive cell is localized in the forbidden bands of the primitive cells at two sides, and the radius of the circular hole gradually decreases from the center to two sides twice, and the formula is as follows:
r(i)=rc-(i-1)2(rc-re)/N2,i∈[1,N]
wherein i is the ith round hole on one side of the nano beam cavity, N is the total number of the round holes on one side of the nano beam cavity, r (i) is the radius of the ith round hole, and rcRadius of the central circular hole, reIs the radius of the circular holes at the tail ends of the two sides of the nano beam cavity.
It should be noted that, in order to improve the refractive index sensitivity, the slit 4 is introduced in the present embodiment to increase the overlapping volume of the optical field and the biological target. The nano-beam cavity biosensor is realized by etching a round hole embedded in a slit 4 on an SOI chip top layer silicon waveguide 1 with a buried oxide layer 2 removed, wherein the width of the slit 4 is Ws=50nm。
Further, the operating wavelength of the nanobeam-cavity biosensor is determined by the first-order dielectric band edge frequency. Fig. 2 shows the edge frequencies of the first order dielectric band and the air band corresponding to different circular hole radii. In order to make the first-order dielectric mode of the nano-beam cavity work in the communication band U band (179. 185THz) with low absorption loss, the radius r of the central circular hole is set in the embodimentcSet to 260nm, the operating frequency for the first order dielectric mode is 184 THz. In order to increase the local characteristics of the optical field to obtain a high quality factor, the radius of the circular hole at the two ends corresponding to the maximum mirror intensity is generally selected. FIG. 3 shows the mirror image intensities corresponding to the radii of the end circular holes on different sides, where the mirror image intensity is the maximum when the radius of the end circular hole is 210nm, but the transmittance of the first-order dielectric mode resonance peak is less than 5%. Considering the mirror intensity and transmittance factors comprehensively, the radius r of the end circular hole is adjusted according to the embodimenteThe transmittance of the first-order dielectric mode resonance peak at this time was set to 240nm, and reached 50%.
FIG. 4 is a transmission spectrum obtained by using a three-dimensional finite time domain difference method when the number of circular holes with gradually changing radii in the nano beam cavity is 21. The quality factor increases with the increase of the number of the round holes, and when the quality factor is more than 10000, the lower limit of the refractive index detection can not be obviously reduced with the increase of the quality factor. Considering the absorption loss of the aqueous solution, when the number of the circular holes with gradually changed radii is 25, the quality factor of the leftmost first-order dielectric mode resonance peak (namely the resonance peak at 1650nm at the leftmost side of the graph 4) reaches 10538. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of gradation circular holes is set to 25.
As shown in fig. 5, where a corresponds to an ambient refractive index n of 1.32, b corresponds to an ambient refractive index n of 1.33, c corresponds to an ambient refractive index n of 1.34, d corresponds to an ambient refractive index n of 1.35, and e corresponds to an ambient refractive index n of 1.36, the first-order dielectric mode resonance peak is red-shifted when the ambient refractive index is increased from 1.33 to 1.36. According to the change relation of the center wavelength of the linearly fitted resonance peak along with the environmental refractive index and a refractive index sensitivity formula S, namely delta lambda/delta n, wherein delta lambda represents the wavelength shift amount, delta n represents the environmental refraction change amount, and the refractive index sensitivity of the first-order dielectric mode resonance peak is 849nm/RIU, as shown in FIG. 6 (the refractive index sensitivity is the slope).
According to a calculation formula of a lower detection limit of the refractive index:
Figure BDA0003443623210000041
where λ represents the wavelength, SNR represents the signal-to-noise ratio, Q represents the quality factor, σspect-resThe variance of the spectral resolution error is expressed using a conventional optical test system (spectral resolution of 10pm, σ)spect-res2.9pm), the lower limit of the refractive index detection of the nano-beam cavity biosensor is as low as 1.1 × 10-5Correspondingly, the concentration of the early cancer marker microRNA is 3.4 nM.
The error of the nano beam cavity prepared by electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching is usually about 3nm, the nano beam cavity can be obtained by a three-dimensional finite time domain difference method, when the preparation error is less than 4nm, the attenuation of a Q value (namely a quality factor) is not more than 15%, and the nano beam cavity has high preparation process error robustness.

It is not intended to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching.
