Optical Waveguides with Compound Multiperiodic Grating Nanostructures for Refractive Index Sensing

The spectral characteristics and refractive index sensitivity of compound multiperiodic grating waveguides are investigated in theory and experiment. Compound gratings are formed by superposition of two or more monoperiodic gratings. Compared to monoperiodic photonic crystal waveguides, compound gra...
