Description

一种表面具有微纳米光学结构的器件及制备方法 技术领域
本发明属于光学、传感和微纳加工领域,涉及一种表面具有微纳米光学结构的器件及制备方法。
背景技术
表面等离极化激元(Surface Plasmon Polariton,SPP)是金属表面电荷与光场耦合形成的表面波。此表面波的谐振条件,如波长、强度、出射角等,随其所处环境的折射率而变化。因此表面等离激元谐振(Surface Plasmon Resonance,SPR)被用于对环境折射率进行测量,在折射率、分子和声场传感领域均得到广泛的研究和应用。如何将SPR与光纤结合,从而利用光纤导波技术来方便的激发SPR并进行传感,以获得包括床旁医疗诊断和农产品检测等在内的新型应用,是人们多年来所追求的。其中,特别地,将传感器件集成在光纤端面的技术能够充分发挥光纤检测的方便、快速操作能力,该类传感器可以被直接插入微量生物或医学样本,或者以微创侵入的方式读取分子、光学和声学信息。金属薄膜上的纳米槽阵列构成的SPP微腔,及其集成在单模光纤端面形成的传感器件,是目前具有最高传感信噪比的光纤端面等离激元传感技术,其折射率检测的信噪比比已报道的其他光纤端面等离激元传感技术高2个数量级或以上。这种SPP微腔可以由中间耦合区域和旁边反射区域构成(US 11,022,752 B2),也可以由周期性结构及嵌入的缺陷结构构成(ZL201610754423.1,US 11,137,353 B2),这两种结构与单模光纤端面的集成均可在折射率传感中实现10-6RIU量级的噪声等效检测限。
虽然上述器件已经大幅降低了光纤端面等离激元传感的检测限,但其基础构成单元,即金属薄膜上的纳米槽阵列,属于一种二维结构,限制了检测限的进一步降低。同时,其制备工艺是基于将具有纳米槽的金属薄膜从大面积衬底剥离并精确转移到光纤端面,目前仅局限于二维金属薄膜结构的转移。
因此,如何提供一种新的表面具有微纳米光学结构的器件及制备方法,包括新的端面具有微纳米光学结构的光纤器件及制备方法,以进一步降低该类表面等离激元传感技术的检测限,并发展三维或准三维微纳米结构从衬底到支撑体表面的转移制备工艺,成为本领域技术人员亟待解决的一个重要技术问题。

(2)调整所述支撑体10的位置以使所述承载面与所述微纳米光学结构的位置对准,并通过所述粘合剂相接触。
作为示例,所述衬底60(石英玻璃)为透明衬底,所述支撑体10为光纤,将所述光纤端面与所述微纳米光学结构对准的方法包括:从所述衬底60没有所述微纳米光学结构的一面进行显微观察,观察并对准光纤端面与所述微纳米光学结构的位置。具体的,在所述衬底60没有所述微纳米光学结构的一面,利用透镜和成像元件构成一显微系统,对所述光纤端面与所述微纳米光学结构的放大像进行显示,通过显示的图像调整所述光纤端面与所述微纳米光学结构的位置并对准。
在一些其它示例中,将所述光纤端面与所述微纳米结构对准的方法包括:向所述光纤里打入宽谱光,所述宽谱光沿所述光纤传输并从所述光纤端面射出,之后被所述微纳米结构反射从而返回进入所述光纤,移动所述光纤与所述微纳米结构的相对位置并测量移动过程中反射光的光谱,从所述反射光的光谱与完美对准情形下的预期反射光谱相比较判断是否对准。具体的,通过宽谱光源(例如超辐射二极管)向光纤里打入宽谱光,所述宽谱光沿光纤传输、经过光纤定向耦合器、然后从所述光纤端面射出,接着宽谱光被微纳米光学结构反射从而返回进入光纤,反射光经过光纤定向耦合器并进入光谱仪,移动所述光纤与所述微纳米结构的相对位置并测量移动过程中反射光的光谱,通过光谱仪测量反射光的光谱,从所述反射光的光谱与完美对准情形下的预期反射光谱的比较可以判断与调整光纤端面和金属微纳米结构的对准情况。
具体的,所述光纤端面与所述微纳米光学结构的对准方法根据实际情况进行操作,不以本实施例为限制。
(3)从所述衬底60没有所述微纳米光学结构的一面的方向、透过衬底用粘合剂固化光来照射所述粘合剂以使之固化。
作为示例,如图11所示,显示为所述步骤S3将所述支撑体10连同所述微纳米光学结构自所述衬底60剥离,使所述微纳米光学结构从所述衬底上转移到所述支撑体10的所述承载面的示意图。
作为示例,如图12所示,显示为所述微纳米光学结构转移过程中的光学显微照片,其中所述支撑体为光纤,所述承载面为光纤的端面,所述微纳米光学结构呈现为圆盘状并已被转移到所述光纤端面,所述表面等离极化激元谐振结构及纳米帽呈现为位于圆盘中央的阴影状区域。图12中包括光纤及其端面的微纳米光学结构(图片右下部),光纤及其端面的微纳米光学结构在所述衬底中的镜像倒影(图片右上部),以及呈现为圆盘状深色区域的所述衬底上的所述微纳米光学结构转移前在的位置(图片中部)。图13显示为所述微纳米光学结构转移到所述支撑体的承载面后的原子力显微镜图片,展示了纳米帽阵列。
需要强调的是,所述纳米开口中填充的非金属介质202可防止转移过程中粘合剂进入所述纳米开口中从而影响所述微纳米光学结构从所述衬底60上的剥离效率,而所述纳米帽30是所述微纳米光学结构与所述衬底60形成低结合力界面的关键。作为示例,所述纳米帽30由贵金属材质的金构成,贵金属与很多衬底材料(如SiO2)之间的结合力很大程度上来源于范德华力,属于低结合力,利于实现所述微纳米光学结构从所述衬底60上的剥离。而若不设置所述纳米帽30,则纳米开口中沉积的非金属介质会与衬底牢牢地结合在一起,使转移不能 完成。此外,本发明的所述纳米帽30在有效降低微纳米光学结构与衬底的结合力以利转移的同时,仍然能够保有表面等离极化激元通过纳米开孔对金属薄膜进行共振隧穿的特性,从而实现表面等离激元谐振与来自支撑体方向的入射光波的耦合。基于这种微纳米光学结构及制备方法,可以实现将包含金属薄膜的三维结构从平面衬底剥离并转移到光纤端面,且实现光纤导波与金属薄膜另一侧表面等离极化激元的共振隧穿耦合,同时,基于三维微纳米光学结构(例如所述法布里-珀罗微腔40)在光纤端面的集成,能够使光纤端面表面等离激元传感具有前所未有的高信噪比。
实施例三
本实施例采用实施例二制备的表面具有微纳米光学结构的器件进行折射率测量实验,在一具体示例中,所述支撑体以光纤为例,所述光纤在工作光波长处于单模光纤,所述微纳米光学结构包括表面等离极化激元谐振结构、法布里-珀罗微腔及金属纳米帽,所述表面等离极化激元谐振结构包括中间区域及环绕于所述中间区域四周的旁边区域,所述中间区域的位置与光纤芯层对准,所述纳米开口的阵列将位于所述中间区域的所述金属薄膜划分为周期为645nm的第一周期性结构,并将位于所述旁边区域的所述金属薄膜划分为周期为315nm的第二周期性结构,所述纳米开口采用短边宽度为50nm的长方形纳米槽,所述纳米开口中填充有SiO2介质,该SiO2介质突出于所述金属薄膜的背离所述光纤的一面,且该SiO2介质的背离光纤的一面与所述金属薄膜201的背离光纤的一面之间的距离为8nm,所述金属薄膜采用55nm厚度的金膜,所述金属纳米帽采用5nm厚度的金纳米帽,所述金属纳米帽与所述非金属介质的界面处设有厚度为2nm的钛粘附层,所述第二基板采用20nm厚度的金膜,所述介质层采用厚度为230nm的SiO2层,所述金属薄膜与所述介质层之间设有厚度为2nm的钛粘附层,所述第二基板与所述介质层之间设有厚度为2nm的钛粘附层,所述第二基板与光纤的端面采用紫外线固化胶粘合。
作为示例,如图14所示,显示为采用本发明的表面具有微纳米光学结构的器件测量液体折射率的实验装置图。实验所用的单模光纤工作波长为780~970nm,使用的光源为超辐射发光二极管(super-luminescent diode,SLD),为宽谱光源。光源输出的光经过50%:50%光纤定向耦合器被导入待测液体中,其反射信号再经过该定向耦合器被导入到CCD光纤光谱仪中进行分析。
作为示例,测试了甲醇、水、丙酮、乙醇和异丙醇五种液体,其各自的归一化反射谱如图15所示,如果没有法布里-珀罗微腔,而将表面等离极化激元谐振结构与光纤导波直接耦 合(US 11,022,752B2,ZL201610754423.1,US 11,137,353B2),则在光纤导波的反射谱里将只能得到较浅的表面等离激元谐振反射谷,即光纤导波和表面等离极化激元微腔的耦合效率很有限,仿真结果表明谷深只有不超过约15%,而在本实施例中,通过表面等离极化激元谐振结构和法布里-珀罗微腔耦合形成法诺共振,得到最多约55%深的谐振谷,且还能得到约46%高的谐振峰,表明光纤导波和表面等离极化激元谐振的耦合效率大幅提高,将其各自的谐振波长和各溶液的折射率对应,可得到如图16所示的谐振波长关于折射率变化的散点(实验值)图,可以看出,谐振波长关于折射率呈线性变化,经过线性拟合得到的灵敏度为411nm RIU-1
作为示例,本发明的表面具有微纳米光学结构的器件的端面还被浸入不同浓度牛血清白蛋白(bovine serum albumin,BSA)的磷酸盐缓冲溶液(phosphate buffered saline,PBS)中,同样利用上述方法测量表面等离激元谐振的波长随浓度的变化,通过表面等离激元谐振波长的变化实时读取BSA分子在传感器表面的物理吸附。其中,BSA浓度依次从10ng/mL增加到100μg/mL,每次增加10倍,同时,样品以80mm/s的速度沿光纤方向往复振动,测量结果如图17所示,显示可以测到10ng/mL的浓度。表面等离激元谐振波长随时间变化的基线噪音如图18所示,通过信噪比计算,得到1秒积分时的噪声等效检测限为1.9×10-7RIU,比目前已报道的最好水平低了约一个量级。
此外,还可以通过光纤端面附近的物质的折射率或几何参数随压力变化的性质,来测量光纤端面所在环境里的压力。例如,所述压力可以来自声波、超声波或次声波,所述物质可以是微纳米光学结构与光纤端面之间的粘合剂或其他物质,也可以是附着在金属薄膜表面或光纤端面的物质。
