We report systematic analysis and comparison of ps-laser microwelding of industry relevant Al6082 parts to SiO and BK7. Parameter mapping of pulse energy and focal depth on the weld strength is presented. The welding process was found to be strongly dependent on the focal plane but has a large tolerance to variation in pulse energy. Accelerated lifetime tests by thermal cycling from -50° to +90°C are presented. Welds in Al6082-BK7 parts survive over the full temperature range where the ratio of thermal expansion coefficients is 3.4:1. Welds in Al6082-SiO parts (ratio 47.1:1) survive only a limited temperature range.

This paper presents a new biosensor design based on the Kretschmann configuration, for the detection of analytes at different refractive indices. Our studied design consists of a TiO/SiO bi-layer sandwiched between a BK7 prism and a bimetallic layer of Ag/Au plasmonic materials, covered by a layer of black phosphorus placed below the analyte-containing detection medium. The different layers of our structure and analyte detection were optimized using the angular interrogation method.

This paper presents a performance comparison of heterostructure surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors for the application of Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. The comparison is performed and compared with the existing literature based on the performance parameters in terms of several prisms such as BaF, BK, CaF, CsF, SF, and SiO, several adhesion layers such as TiO, Chromium, plasmonic metals such as Ag, Au, and two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides materials such as BP, Graphene, PtSe MoS, MoSe, WS, WSe. To study the performance of the heterostructure SPR sensor, the transfer matrix method is applied, and to analyses, the electric field intensity near the graphene-sensing layer contact, the finite-difference time-domain approach is utilized.

Sensing abilities of a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPhC) represented by a multilayer dielectric structure are analyzed theoretically and experimentally, using a new wavelength interrogation interference method. The structure comprising a glass substrate and six bilayers of TiO/SiO with a termination layer of TiO is employed in both gas sensing based on the Bloch surface wave (BSW) resonance and liquid analyte sensing based on a self-referenced guide-mode resonance (GMR). We model the spectral interference reflectance responses in the Kretschmann configuration with a coupling prism made of BK7 glass and show that a sharp dip with maximum depth associated with the BSW excitation is red-shifted as the refractive index (RI) changes in a range of 1-1.

The total internal reflection ellipsometry (TIRE) method was used for the excitation and study of the sensitivity features of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and Bloch surface waves (BSWs) resonances. For the BSWs generation distributed Bragg gratings were formed on the tops of the substrates (BK7 glass substrate), which had six bilayers of ~120 nm SiO and ~40 nm TiO and 40 nm of TiO on the top. The SPP sample consisted of the BK7 glass prism and a gold layer (45 nm).

Surface free energy and microstructure dependent environmental stability of sol-gel SiO antireflective coatings: Effect of combined vapor phase surface treatment.

Environmental stability is of great interest for sol-gel porous antireflective (AR) coatings. In this work, sol-gel silica AR coatings with excellent environmental stability were prepared via ammonia vapor treatment (AVT) combined with organosilane (hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) or hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HTMS)) vapor treatment. The surface free energy (SFE) of the coatings treated with different approaches was estimated through Owens-Wendt method combined with Wenzel equation from the contact angles of water, glycerol and diiodomethane.
