Abstract Thanks to the unique molecular fingerprints in the mid-infrared spectral region, absorption spectroscopy in this regime has attracted widespread attention in recent years. Contrary to commercially available infrared spectrometers, which are limited by being bulky and cost-intensive, laboratory-on-chip infrared spectrometers can offer sensor advancements including raw sensing performance in addition to use such as enhanced portability. Several platforms have been proposed in the past for on-chip ethanol detection. However, selective sensing with high sensitivity at room temperature has remained a challenge. Here, we experimentally demonstrate an on-chip ethyl alcohol sensor based on a holey photonic crystal waveguide on silicon on insulator-based photonics sensing platform offering an enhanced photoabsorption thus improving sensitivity. This is achieved by designing and engineering an optical slow-light mode with a high group-index of n g  = 73 and a strong localization of modal power in analyte, enabled by the photonic crystal waveguide structure. This approach includes a codesign paradigm that uniquely features an increased effective path length traversed by the guided wave through the to-be-sensed gas analyte. This PIC-based lab-on-chip sensor is exemplary, spectrally designed to operate at the center wavelength of 3.4 μm to match the peak absorbance for ethanol. However, the slow-light enhancement concept is universal offering to cover a wide design-window and spectral ranges towards sensing a plurality of gas species. Using the holey photonic crystal waveguide, we demonstrate the capability of achieving parts per billion levels of gas detection precision. High sensitivity combined with tailorable spectral range along with a compact form-factor enables a new class of portable photonic sensor platforms when combined with integrated with quantum cascade laser and detectors.

Backward Propagation

In conventional photonic crystal systems, extrinsic scattering resulting from random manufacturing defects or environmental changes is a major source of loss that causes performance degradation, and the backscattering loss is amplified as the group velocity slows down. In order to overcome the limitations in slow light systems, we propose a backscattering-immune slow light waveguide design. The waveguide is based on an interface between a square lattice of magneto-optical photonic crystal with precisely tailored rod radii of the first two rows and a titled 45 degrees square lattice of Alumina photonic crystal with an aligned band gap. High group indices of 77, 68, 64, and 60 with the normalized frequency bandwidths of 0.444%, 0.481%, 0.485%, and 0.491% are obtained, respectively. The corresponding normalized delay-bandwidth products remain around 0.32 for all cases, which are higher than previously reported works based on rod radius adjustment. The robustness for the edge modes against different types of interfacial defects is observed for the lack of backward propagation modes at the same frequencies as the unidirectional edge modes. Furthermore, the transmission direction can be controlled by the sign of the externally applied magnetic field normal to the plane.
