Definitions
- the present invention relates to an integrated optical interference method according to the preamble of patent claim 1
- Optical layer waveguides consist of a thin waveguiding layer with a higher refractive index on a substrate with a lower refractive index.
- Strip waveguides consist of a strip with a higher refractive index, which is attached to a substrate with a lower refractive index or embedded in its surface.
- the medium called superstrate, with which the layer or strip waveguide is covered, must also have a lower refractive index than the layer or strip waveguide.
- the optical waves in layer waveguides are guided laterally by total reflection in the plane of the layer, and additionally also laterally in strip waveguides.
- An important special case of the layered waveguide is the planar waveguide in which the substrate is flat.
- C is the speed of light in a vacuum and N is the effective refractive index of the mode.
- the modes are referred to according to their polarization as TE m - (transversely electrical) and TM m - (transversely magnetic) modes.
- the mode number m 0.1, 2, .. denotes modes with different transverse field distributions.
- Modes of different polarization and different transverse field distributions also occur with the strip waveguides.
- the effective refractive indices N depend on the frequency v, the polarization and mode number of the mode and the properties of the waveguide, such as the refractive indices of the substrate and superstrate and waveguiding layer or strip and its layer thickness or thickness and width.
- Light of the same frequency v can propagate simultaneously in a waveguide in the form of modes of different polarization, for example in a planar waveguide as TE m and as TM m mode with the same
- Mode number m 0, 1, ...
- the effective refractive indices N (TE m ) and N (TM m ) are different from each other.
- a guided wave or mode with a beam splitter is divided into two partial waves 1 and 2, which pass through different paths and then from one Strahlvere iniger be superimposed again.
- Beam splitters and combiners can e.g. in a planar waveguide. with gratings and with the use of strip waveguides with 3dB couplers.
- the intensity can be measured photoelectrically. If the interference fringes, ie the maxima and minima of the intensity I, are counted, the values of the phase difference ⁇ 1 - ⁇ 2 result in integer multiples of 2 ⁇ t or ⁇ .
- the invention has for its object to provide an integrated optical interference method for the selective detection of substances in liquid and gaseous samples, and / or for measuring changes in the refractive index in liquid and gaseous samples, and / or ion concentrations, which despite high sensitivity and large measuring range is simpler and cheaper to implement and does not require waveguides with structures such as beam splitters, gratings, 3dB couplers, etc., but requires only a single layer waveguide or a single strip waveguide, and to provide a device for carrying out this method which is fabricated is easier to manufacture. Another task is to create a device that can be inserted directly into the sample to be measured.
- the invention achieves the object by a method according to the features of claim 1 and a device according to the features of claim 15.
- the two modes orthogonally polarized to one another are a TE m and a TM m ' mode, the mode numbers m and m' being either the same or different; the two modes are preferably the TE 0 and the TM 0 mode.
- the easiest way to couple the laser light into the waveguide is via the end face.
- the easiest way to disconnect is via an end face.
- the incident laser light must be linearly polarized at an angle ⁇ with respect to the normal on the waveguide surface, where ⁇ ⁇ 0 and ⁇ 90 0 and is preferably ⁇ 45 0 , or else is elliptical, preferably circular, polarized.
- the outcoupled laser light has two mutually orthogonal polarization components s and p, the component p being linearly polarized in the direction of the normal on the waveguide by the TM mode and the component s polarized perpendicularly, ie in the plane of the layer, by the TE mode .
- the sample is placed on at least one measuring point below mentioned - section of the waveguide on its surface, or if this is provided with a chemically selectively sensitive layer - which is hereinafter referred to as chemo-responsive layer - placed on this chemo-responsive layer, or the part of the waveguide with the measuring point introduced into the sample.
- chemo-responsive layer - placed on this chemo-responsive layer, or the part of the waveguide with the measuring point introduced into the sample.
- phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t) The light of the two mutually orthogonal polarization components s and p in the decoupled light is coherent with one another; there is a phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t) between the two, which depends on the time t if a temporal change occurs in the sample or if the sample is applied to the measuring point.
- the phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t) is measured as a function of time t and from this the change in the quantity to be measured is concluded or this is determined quantitatively.
- Various particularly suitable methods for measuring ⁇ ⁇ (t) are given below.
- the optical paths ie the path integrals via the product of the local refractive index and path element, are of the same size for the mutually orthogonal polarization components.
- the phase difference between the two polarization components does not change with the light propagation.
- the interferometer is largely insensitive to shocks and temperature changes, which result in a change in the optical paths.
- This property is very advantageous because the mechanical structure does not have to have the great stability that is required with some other interferometers in three-dimensional optics.
- polarization-optical components such as phase-shifting plates, for example ⁇ / 4 plates, and / or by means of beam splitters, additional phase differences ⁇ 0 can be generated between the two polarization components.
- phase differences ⁇ 0 which are generated for the purpose of measuring the phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t), are discussed in more detail below.
- phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t) occurs in the light propagation in the waveguide between the mutually orthogonally polarized modes due to the interaction with the sample; this depends on the time when a temporal change occurs in the sample or when the sample is applied to the measuring point.
- the occurrence of the phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t) can be understood as follows: the light of the modes is guided by total reflection in the waveguiding layer or in the strip; however, the field distribution extends into the superstrate in the form of a transversely damped wave, i.e. into the chemo-responsive layer and / or sample. The depths of penetration of the fields of the two mutually orthogonally polarized modes differ, and therefore the strength of their interaction with the sample.
- ⁇ ⁇ (L) 2 ⁇ (L / ⁇ ) [N (TE 0 ) -N (TM 0 )] + ⁇ ⁇ (0), (3) if ⁇ ⁇ (0) is their phase difference at the beginning of the measuring point. If the effective refractive indices change as a function of time t, namely N (TE 0 ) by ⁇ N (t; TE 0 ) and N (TM 0 ) by ⁇ N (t; TM 0 ), the phase difference ⁇ f (L) changes in time
- the TE o mode decoupled from the waveguide generates the polarization component s
- the decoupled TM 0 mode generates the polarization component p.
- the phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t) + ⁇ ⁇ exists between these polarization components, ⁇ ⁇ being constant.
- the outcoupled light is directed through a polarizer to a photodetector.
- the transmission direction of the polarizer is oriented in the direction of the bisector of the polarization directions of the two linearly polarized polarization components s and p.
- I s and I p are the intensities which the polarization components s and p would produce on their own, ⁇ ⁇ the constant phase difference and ⁇ ⁇ (t) the temporal resulting from the changes in the quantity to be measured are changing phase difference. If the maxima and minima of I (t) are counted, then ⁇ ⁇ (t) with an accuracy of
- I s I p is preferably selected so that the
- the sensitivity of the method according to the invention is proportional to the length L of the measuring point.
- the effective refractive index N depends on the refractive index of the medium with which the waveguide is covered and on the layer thickness of a layer adsorbed on the surface of the waveguiding layer or strip. Changes in ⁇ N (t) and thus the phase difference ⁇ ⁇ (t) occur when
- the method according to the invention is suitable as a differential refractometer.
- Examples of this are: With waveguiding layers made of SiO 2 -TiO 2 , changes in the relative humidity, for. B. relative humidity, because water is adsorbed or sorbed on the surface and in the micropores of the SiO 2 -TiO 2 layer.
- the method according to the invention is suitable as a moisture sensor.
- chemo-responsive layer on the surface of the measuring point of the wave-guiding layer or the strip, which selectively adsorbs, chemisorbs or binds the substance to be detected and thereby either changes its refractive index or layer thickness, or causes an additional layer to be deposited on the chemoresponsive layer .
- This chemo-responsive layer can also be present in the micropores of a porous waveguide.
- the chemo-responsive layer can also be preceded by a semi-permeable membrane, so that only the substances diffusing through the membrane from the sample can interact with the chemo-responsive layer.
- chemo-responsive layers are as follows: a) The chemo-responsive layer consists of, for example, a monomolecular layer made of molecules of an antibody, which are preferably covalently bound to the waveguiding layer or the strip. If the antigen or skin corresponding to this antibody is contained in the sample, then antigen or hapten molecules bind to the antibodies and thereby form an additional layer, the formation of which is verified by the method according to the invention.
- the immunoreaction between antigen or hapten and antibody is highly specific and selective, especially when monoclonal Antibodies are used. The same applies if the measuring point is coated with an antigen or anti-antibody. Molecules of the corresponding antibody present in the sample then bind to these fixed molecules.
- MAK monoclonal antibodies
- the method according to the invention can thus be used in medical diagnostics for the detection of antibodies or antigens in body fluids, in agro-diagnostics for the detection of plant diseases, in food chemistry for the detection of bacterial contaminants and for the detection of toxic substances.
- Methods for the covalent binding of antibodies to, for example, glass and SiO 2 surfaces are described in the literature.
- palladium can be applied to the surface as a chemo-responsive layer or introduced into the pores of the wave-guiding layer.
- ion concentrations for example of H + ions (pH value) or K + ions, is possible with suitable chemo-responsive layers.
- Chemo-responsive layers consisting of chemisorbed or bonded indicator dyes or embedded in a polymer layer are suitable for measuring the pH value. Since indicator dyes change their color depending on the pH value, they also have to change their refractive index in the wavelength ranges in which they have low light absorption, which is known to result from the dispersion relationships.
- a chemo-responsive layer consisting of va- nomyc in molecules embedded in a polymer layer, which absorb K + ions very selectively, is suitable.
- the dependence of the sensitivity of the method according to the invention on the properties of the waveguide used is considered below for a planar waveguide when using the TE 0 and TM 0 modes.
- the effective changes in refractive index ⁇ N (t; TE 0 ) and ⁇ N (t; TM 0 ) of the two modes themselves are large if their interaction with the sample or with the chemo-responsive layer changed by the sample is strong.
- the effective layer thickness d eff is defined as the sum of the geometric layer thickness d of the vein-conducting layer and the depth of penetration of the transversely damped fields into the substrate on the one hand and into the sample and / or chemo-responsive layer on the other. It is small if d is small and if the difference n 1 -n 2 of the 3-index numbers of the waveguiding layer (n 1 ) and substrate (n 2 ) is as large as possible, preferably n 1 -n 2 > 0.25.
