Abstract
Silicon-on-insulator-based photonics waveguides, namely Ridge, Rib, and Slot waveguides are explored for the blood sensing application in near-IR region. The absorption-based sensing principle has been adopted in the upper cladding/evanescent region of the waveguide. The finite element method-based simulation results, obtained through the COMSOL multiphysics software, have illustrated that the slot waveguide has the optimum performance for the absorption-based sensor applications.
