Abstract:Nowadays, microplastics pollution has become a global concern as it endangers the ecology and marine animals and causes health threats to human beings. This paper demonstrated a simulation of an optical planar waveguide sensor design for microplastics detection in water via Wave Optics Module-COMSOL Multiphysics®. The design optimisation of the sensor was conducted by changing the cladding thickness ranging from 0 to 5 µm. The change in analyte refractive index ranging from 1.480 to 1.500 refractive index unit… Show more
