Simulations were performed for two distinct mid-infrared wavelengths, thereby demonstrating the necessity of individually designed waveguide structures for each spectral regime of interest. Hence, the modal behavior, sensitivity, and intensity of the evanescent field were investigated via modeling studies at 1600 and 1000 cm^(-1), thereby confirming the utility of such simulations for designing mid-infrared sensors based on thin-film waveguide technology.展开更多
