A method and apparatus for surface plasmon resonance imaging are provided for imaging the surface plasmon resonance signals caused by the interaction of biomolecules. In particular, the method and apparatus can image the slightly spectral change in a surface plasmon resonance mode by comparing the light intensities of two bands in the frequency domain of the surface plasmon.

Techniques for chemically etching a fiber tip to form a smooth fiber probe. One implementation applies a coating layer around a bare fiber to expose only an end facet of the bare fiber and then the exposed end facet is immersed into an etching liquid to be away from a meniscus interface between the etching liquid and the fiber to etch the fiber from the end facet.

We disclose a new optical TE-TM mode splitter on lithium niobate. The splitter is fabricated by using an asymmetric Y-junction structure which is composed of a straight waveguide, and two branch waveguides. The straight waveguide is the input one that can guide randomly-polarized light (i.e. both TE and TM modes). The two branch waveguides are the output ones, and one of them can guide only the TE mode, the other can guide only the TM mode. Because the output waveguides can individually guide the TE and TM modes, the input modes are then split by the branch waveguides. The input waveguide is fabricated by diffusing titanium into lithium niobate. The two output waveguides are made by nickel indiffusion and magnesium-oxide induced lithium outdiffusion or proton exchanged techniques.
