“…Transparent conducting oxide thin films and particularly indium-tin-oxide (ITO) films find their applications in integrated touch sensors for flexible OLED displays, photovoltaic cells, LCDs, optical fiber sensor, gas sensing, analysis of ionized media and opto-electrochemical label free biosensors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. ITO films are transparent, conducting and chemically stable and can be used for integrated-optic sensing applications.…”

A very short length high sensitivity, large figure of merit and very high resolution integrated-photonic refractometer for aqueous environment operating in visible region of wavelength is proposed. The sensor design depends on the periodic coupling of the guided dielectric optical waveguide mode field and the lossy mode field of the conducting Indium-tin-oxide thin film. Various layer thicknesses can be optimized to provide power transfer to the lossy layer and lossy mode resonance, resulting in a strong guided mode power absorption in the lossy layer occurs. The sensor has been designed to operate in both the TE and TM polarizations with different optimized layer thicknesses. The optimized thicknesses are different for TE and TM polarizations. The obtained numerical results show that a spectral sensitivity of 2200 nm/RIU/2645 nm/RIU for TE/TM mode could be achieved with a very high resolution. Also, the sensors can operate in power interrogation mode with maximum sensitivity nearly 5 x 107 dB/RIU.
