Abstract

An advantageous implementation of an integrated photonic biosensor is the bimodal
waveguide interferometer. To fully utilize its potential and minimize the limit of detection, it is essential to holistically design its waveguide platform. To this end, we incorporate an ab initio model of the surface-roughness-induced scattering to find a balance between predicted sensitivity and losses for a silicon nitride strip waveguide platform.
