Abstract

An integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer for biosensor applications was designed and fabricated. To implement the optimum biosensor a rib waveguide must have single mode operation and high sensitivity. The proposed Mach-Zehnder interferometer was fabricated based on these design rules, and its feasibility is confirmed by ethanol detection experiment in the real-time measurement system operating at 632.8 nm.
