Silicon based total internal reflection bio and chemical sensing with spectral phase detection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Si-based total internal reflection (TIR) bio/chemical sensor presents an attractive alternative to Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technology due to a relatively simple optical arrangement and technological implementation, as well as a relatively easy bio/chemical immobilization on Si/SiO(2) surface with a number of novel attractive applications. This sensor is based on the control of phase difference between p- and s-polarized components of light reflected from Si/air or Si/water interface in TIR geometry and a high sensitivity of the sensor is granted by a high refractive index of Si (3.56 at 1200 nm). We study properties of TIR sensors in a configuration of spectral phase detection and identify conditions of maximal phase sensitive response. We also experimentally show that the detection limit of Si-based TIR sensor can be lowered down to a level of detection of commercially available SPR devices (10(-6) Refractive Index Units, RIU) under the use of a proper low-noisy method of the phase control. The concept of Si-based TIR opens attractive prospects for the miniaturization of sensor devices, taking advantage of the advanced state of development of Si-based microfabrication technologies, while the proposed spectral phase detection scheme offers much easier packaging and calibration steps.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
