The location of the minimum of the spectral reflectivity serves to detect changes in the index of refraction of the medium under analysis. The normal incidence operation eases its integration with optical fibers. The geometry of the arrangement and the material selection are changed to optimize some performance parameters as sensitivity, figure of merit, field enhancement, and spectral width. This optimization takes into account the feasibility of the fabrication. The evaluated results of sensitivity(1020 nm/RIU)and figure of merit(614 RIU^(-1)) are competitive with those previously reported.展开更多

On the basis of CS theory, the simulation results indicate that the probability of reconstruction is high when the step of the sparsity adaptive matching pursuit algorithm is confirmed as 1. Contrastive analysis for four kinds of commonly used measurement matrices: part Hadamard, Bernoulli, Toeplitz and Circular matrix, has been conducted. The results illustrate that the part Hadamard matrix has better performance of reconstruction than the other matrices. The experimental system of the spectral compression reconstruction is mainly based on the digital micro-mirror device(DMD). The experimental results prove that CS can reconstruct sparse spectrum well under the condition of 50% sampling rate. The system error 0.0781 is obtained, which is defined by the average value of the 2-norm. Furthermore, the proposed method shows a dominant ability to discard redundancy.展开更多
