Preserving Optical Confinement in PECVD SiO<sub>2</sub> Waveguides by Control of Thin-Film Stress
Researchers at Brigham Young University (BYU) have developed an optical biosensor that can quickly analyze a sample to detect any type of nucleic acid based organism, such as viruses or bacteria. The biosensor's reliability over time is compromised due to water absorbing into the SiO2 waveguid...
