Determination of chlorinated hydrocarbons in water using highly sensitive mid-infrared sensor technology.

ABSTRACT: Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (CHCs) are toxic and carcinogenic contaminants commonly found in environmental samples, and efficient online detection of these contaminants is still challenging at the present stage. Here, we report an advanced Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) sensor for in-situ and simultaneous detection of multiple CHCs, including monochlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, and chloroform. The polycrystalline silver halide sensor fiber had a unique integrated planar-cylindric geometry, and was coated with an ethylene/propylene copolymer membrane to act as a solid phase extractor, which greatly amplified the analytical signal and contributed to a higher detection sensitivity compared to the previously reported sensors. This system exhibited a high detection sensitivity towards the CHCs mixture at a wide concentration range of 5~700 ppb. The FTIR-ATR sensor described in this study has a high potential to be utilized as a trace-sensitive on-line device for water contamination monitoring.

GeSnOI mid-infrared laser technology.

Project description:GeSn alloys are promising materials for CMOS-compatible mid-infrared lasers manufacturing. Indeed, Sn alloying and tensile strain can transform them into direct bandgap semiconductors. This growing laser technology however suffers from a number of limitations, such as poor optical confinement, lack of strain, thermal, and defects management, all of which are poorly discussed in the literature. Herein, a specific GeSn-on-insulator (GeSnOI) stack using stressor layers as dielectric optical claddings is demonstrated to be suitable for a monolithically integration of planar Group-IV semiconductor lasers on a versatile photonic platform for the near- and mid-infrared spectral range. Microdisk-shape resonators on mesa structures were fabricated from GeSnOI, after bonding a Ge0.9Sn0.1 alloy layer grown on a Ge strain-relaxed-buffer, itself on a Si(001) substrate. The GeSnOI microdisk mesas exhibited significantly improved optical gain as compared to that of conventional suspended microdisk resonators formed from the as-grown layer. We further show enhanced vertical out-coupling of the disk whispering gallery mode in-plane radiation, with up to 30% vertical out-coupling efficiency. As a result, the GeSnOI approach can be a valuable asset in the development of silicon-based mid-infrared photonics that combine integrated sources in a photonic platform with complex lightwave engineering.

<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Breath Test via Mid-Infrared Sensor Technology.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori infection has been associated with various gastrointestinal disorders, most notably with the development of gastric cancer. Therefore, it is important to develop technologies for effective, rapid, sensitive, and personalized infection detection. The present study evaluates the utility of mid-infrared (MIR) exhaled breath sensors utilizing substrate-integrated hollow waveguide (iHWG) technology for the precise determination of the isotopic ratio of 13CO2 vs 12CO2 simulating conditions relevant to the detection of the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the upper gastrointestinal tract via exhaled breath analysis. For future integration of such a sensing module, e.g., into a cell phone attachment, optimized light-gas interaction and sufficient sensitivity are essential, as the diagnosis is based on detecting the presence of 13CO2 30 min after administration of 13C-labeled urea via a gel or pill, which is metabolized by H. pylori. By optimizing the light-gas interaction volume via tailoring of the iHWG, it was demonstrated that sufficient sensitivity and accuracy are achieved for detecting small changes in the isotopic composition of exhaled CO2. While it was demonstrated that the combination of conventional Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with iHWGs indeed confirms the utility of this noninvasive breath analysis concept, further device miniaturization utilizing quantum cascade lasers is anticipated to achieve the necessary level of integration for personalized home usage.

In Situ Determination of Nitrate in Water Using Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared Attenuated Total Reflectance Spectroscopy Coupled with Deconvolution Algorithm.

Project description:Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy has been used to determine the nitrate content in aqueous solutions. However, the conventional water deduction algorithm indicated considerable limits in the analysis of samples with low nitrate concentration. In this study, FTIR-ATR spectra of nitrate solution samples with high and low concentrations were obtained, and the spectra were then pre-processed with deconvolution curve-fitting (without water deduction) combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR) to predict the nitrate content. The results show that the typical absorption of nitrate (1200-1500 cm-1) did not clearly align with the conventional algorithm of water deduction, while this absorption was obviously observed through the deconvolution algorithm. The first principal component of the spectra, which explained more than 95% variance, was linearly related to the nitrate content; the correlation coefficient (R2) of the PLSR model for the high-concentration group was 0.9578, and the ratio of the standard deviation of the prediction set to that of the calibration set (RPD) was 4.22, indicating excellent prediction performance. For the low-concentration group model, R2 and RPD were 0.9865 and 3.15, respectively, which also demonstrated significantly improved prediction capability. Therefore, FTIR-ATR spectroscopy combined with deconvolution curve-fitting can be conducted to determine the nitrate content in aqueous solutions, thus facilitating rapid determination of nitrate in water bodies with varied concentrations.

Highly Efficient and achromatic mid-infrared silicon nitride meta-lenses.

Project description:Inverse design with topology optimization considers a promising methodology for discovering new optimized photonic structure that enables to break the limitations of the forward or the traditional design especially for the meta-structure. This work presents a high efficiency mid infra-red imaging photonics element along mid infra-red wavelengths band starts from 2 to 5 µm based on silicon nitride optimized material structures. The first two designs are broadband focusing and reflective meta-lens under very high numerical aperture condition (NA = 0.9). The two designs are modeled by inverse design with topology optimization problem with Kreisselmeier-Steinhauser (k-s) aggregation objective function, while the final design is depended on novel inverse design optimization problem with double aggregation objective function that can target bifocal points along the wavelength band producing high efficiency achromatic broadband multi-focal meta-lens under very high numerical apertures ([Formula: see text]).

Ultra-high sensitive 1D porous silicon photonic crystal sensor based on the coupling of Tamm/Fano resonances in the mid-infrared region.

Project description:Porous silicon one-dimensional photonic crystals (PSi-1DPCs) are capable of sensing solutions and liquids based on the smallest variation of the refractive indices. In the present work, we present a novel metal/PSi-1DPC as a liquid sensor based on Tamm/Fano resonances. The operating wavelength range is from 6.35 to 9.85 μm in the mid-infrared (MIR) spectral region. Different metals (Al, Ag, Au, and Pt) are attached to the top surface of the PSi-1DPCs structure to show Tamm/Fano resonances more clearly. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that Tamm/Fano resonances exhibit simultaneously in PSi-1DPCs within the same structure. The reflection spectra were calculated for the metal/PSi-1DPC structure by using the transfer matrix method (TMM) and the Bruggeman's effective medium approximation (BEMA). The simulations show that the Tamm/Fano resonances are red-shifted towards the higher wavelengths with increasing the refractive index of the pores. The Ag/PSi-1DPC sensor showed the highest performance. Its sensitivity can be reached to the value 5018 nm/RIU with a high-quality factor of about 2149.27. We predict the proposed sensors can be easily fabricated and we expect them to show higher performance than other reported sensors of this type. Therefore, it will be of interest in the field of optical sensing in different fields.

Extraordinary evanescent field confinement waveguide sensor for mid-infrared trace gas spectroscopy.

Project description:Nanophotonic waveguides are at the core of a great variety of optical sensors. These structures confine light along defined paths on photonic chips and provide light-matter interaction via an evanescent field. However, waveguides still lag behind free-space optics for sensitivity-critical applications such as trace gas detection. Short optical pathlengths, low interaction strengths, and spurious etalon fringes in spectral transmission are among the main reasons why on-chip gas sensing is still in its infancy. In this work, we report on a mid-infrared integrated waveguide sensor that successfully addresses these drawbacks. This sensor operates with a 107% evanescent field confinement factor in air, which not only matches but also outperforms free-space beams in terms of the per-length optical interaction. Furthermore, negligible facet reflections result in a flat spectral background and record-low absorbance noise that can finally compete with free-space spectroscopy. The sensor performance was validated at 2.566 μm, which showed a 7 ppm detection limit for acetylene with only a 2 cm long waveguide.

A Sensitive Near-Infrared Fluorescent Sensor for Mitochondrial Hydrogen Sulfide.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important gasotransmitter. Although a large number of fluorescent probes for cellular H2S have been reported, only a few can detect H2S in mitochondria, a cellular organelle connecting H2S with mitochondrial function and metabolic pathways. We hereby describe a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe, nimazide, by introducing sulfonyl azide to the core structure of a QSY-21 dark quencher. Nimazide responded quickly to H2S, resulting in robust fluorescence turn-off changes. This conversion displayed high specificity and fast kinetics. More impressively, we observed a robust fluorescence decrease in live cells loaded with mitochondrial nimazide in response to extracellular addition of nanomolar H2S, and successfully imaged biologically generated mitochondrial H2S in live mammalian cells. Nimazide is one of the most sensitive fluorescent probes for mitochondrial H2S.

Graphene nanomesh as highly sensitive chemiresistor gas sensor.

Project description:Graphene is a one atom thick carbon allotrope with all surface atoms that has attracted significant attention as a promising material as the conduction channel of a field-effect transistor and chemical field-effect transistor sensors. However, the zero bandgap of semimetal graphene still limits its application for these devices. In this work, ethanol-chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of a grown p-type semiconducting large-area monolayer graphene film was patterned into a nanomesh by the combination of nanosphere lithography and reactive ion etching and evaluated as a field-effect transistor and chemiresistor gas sensors. The resulting neck-width of the synthesized nanomesh was about ∼20 nm and was comprised of the gap between polystyrene (PS) spheres that was formed during the reactive ion etching (RIE) process. The neck-width and the periodicities of the graphene nanomesh (GNM) could be easily controlled depending on the duration/power of the RIE and the size of the PS nanospheres. The fabricated GNM transistor device exhibited promising electronic properties featuring a high drive current and an I(ON)/I(OFF) ratio of about 6, significantly higher than its film counterpart. Similarly, when applied as a chemiresistor gas sensor at room temperature, the graphene nanomesh sensor showed excellent sensitivity toward NO(2) and NH(3), significantly higher than their film counterparts. The ethanol-based graphene nanomesh sensors exhibited sensitivities of about 4.32%/ppm in NO(2) and 0.71%/ppm in NH(3) with limits of detection of 15 and 160 ppb, respectively. Our demonstrated studies on controlling the neck width of the nanomesh would lead to further improvement of graphene-based transistors and sensors.

Highly Sensitive Pressure Sensor Based on Elastic Conductive Microspheres.

Project description:Elastic pressure sensors play a crucial role in the digital economy, such as in health care systems and human-machine interfacing. However, the low sensitivity of these sensors restricts their further development and wider application prospects. This issue can be resolved by introducing microstructures in flexible pressure-sensitive materials as a common method to improve their sensitivity. However, complex processes limit such strategies. Herein, a cost-effective and simple process was developed for manufacturing surface microstructures of flexible pressure-sensitive films. The strategy involved the combination of MXene-single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) with mass-produced Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microspheres to form advanced microstructures. Next, the conductive silica gel films with pitted microstructures were obtained through a 3D-printed mold as flexible electrodes, and assembled into flexible resistive pressure sensors. The sensor exhibited a sensitivity reaching 2.6 kPa-1 with a short response time of 56 ms and a detection limit of 5.1 Pa. The sensor also displayed good cyclic stability and time stability, offering promising features for human health monitoring applications.
