With the aim to fabricate high quality and boosting the optical performance of vanadium dioxide (VO2) film, basing on
effective medium theory, dual-target magnetron sputtering method is first introduced into VO2-SiO2 composite film on
quartz by changing the flow ratio of Argon and oxygen. X-Ray diffraction measurement indicates the purity of the
composite film. Atomic force microscopy measurement shows that the minimum grain size is about 45nm. Infrared (IR)
switching characteristic is well demonstrated by a double-frequented He-Ne laser at the wavelength of 3mμ,compare to
VO2 film obtained at the same sputtering time, the result reveals that the composite film exhibit excellent IR switching
property, furthermore, multi-wavelength tests and calculations show that all of the obtained composite films exhibit high
integrate luminous transmittance of 50%, and the transmittance in semiconducting phase of one thin film is 65% and
decreases to 24% in metallic phase at the wavelength of 2mμ , with the switching efficiency of 63%. High visible
transmittance and excellent infrared switching characteristics make the film an appropriate candidate for laser protection
as well as smart windows.
To find a detecting method that can be applied to the clinical screening and diagnosis, the cascaded micro-ring sensor with Vernier effect was used to distinguish gastric cancerous and normal cells. The simulation by FDTD of the cascaded microring sensor with different refractive indexes of the analyte (normal cells and gastric cancer cells) will be presented. In the simulation, with the refractive index’s change Δn=0.02 for the two different analyte, the shift of sensor’s resonant wavelength is 6.71nm. And the cascaded micro-ring sensor’s sensitivity S is 335.5nm/RIU, and it is much larger compared to 19nm/RIU for a single ring sensor.
