Miniaturization is the rule of the day. This has even extended to optical domain where entire sensor arrays complete with laser or led source and pin photodiode are fabricated within a single chip. The device discussed and analyzed in this paper is a MOEMS accelerometer which consists of uniform micro cantilever on one arm of MZI structure. The refractive index is assumed to vary even along the direction of pulse propagation along with the frequently analyzed refractive index profile perpendicular to the light pulse path. The efficiency of device is increased by numerous optimization measures. A dual approach of optimal curved waveguide with increased difference is found to maximize power in waveguide core with minimal leakage to the cladding. This effectively translates to increased sensitivity as greater power is available for accurate detection process. The analysis is supported by appropriate simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
