Abstract:
A flexible waveguide structure including a waveguide on a flexible substrate, both having transparent windows in the mid-infrared range, may serve as a photonic chemical sensor for measuring characteristic absorptions of analytes brought in physical contact with the waveguide. Such a sensor may, in accordance with some embodiments, be formed by an aluminum-nitride waveguide on a borosilicate substrate.

Claim (Index 1):
A mid-infrared photonic chemical sensing system comprising:\n a flexible waveguide structure comprising:\n an ultra-thin substrate; \n a waveguide disposed on the substrate, the waveguide having an exposed center section between two end sections; and \n a top cladding deposited over the end sections of the waveguide and adjacent surface regions of the substrate, the top cladding anchoring the waveguide on the substrate while leaving the center section exposed, \n wherein the substrate and the waveguide are both transparent to infrared light over an operating wavelength range including wavelengths greater than 2.5 \u03bcm.
