Simultaneous retrieval of fluidic refractive index and surface adsorbed molecular film thickness using silicon wire waveguide biosensors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
For silicon wire based ring resonator biosensors, we investigate the simultaneous retrieval of changes in the fluidic refractive index ∆n(c) and surface adsorbed molecular film thickness ∆d(F). This can be achieved by monitoring the resonance shifts of the sensors operating in the TE and TM polarizations at the same time. Although this procedure is straightforward in principle, significant retrieval errors can be introduced due to deviations in the sensor waveguide cross-sections from their nominal values in the range commonly encountered for silicon photonic wire devices. We propose a method of determining the fabricated waveguide size using the group indices derived from measured free spectral range (FSR) of the resonators. We further demonstrate that using experimentally measured group index values, the waveguide size can be determined to accuracies of ± 2 nm in width and ± 1 nm in height. By using this procedure, ∆n(c) and ∆d(F) can be obtained to a precision of within 10% of the true values using optically measurable parameters, improving the retrieval accuracy by more than 3 times.

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.
