Abstract
We have successfully used a single-beam planar interferometer based on the silicon-silicon dioxide-silicon nitride-phosphosilicate glass mul tilayer structure. s- and p-polarizations of the same light beam are u sed as its individual arms. The high sensitivity of the device when se rving as a refractometer and an immunosensor is demonstrated. The expe rimental results are shown to be in a good agreement with those calcul ated within the framework of a transverse synchronism. (C) 1998 Elsevi er Science S.A. All rights reserved.
