• CMOS compatible silicon slot ring resonator sensor 

      Sherif, S. M.; Shahada, L.; Swillam, M. ( SPIE , 2019 , Conference Paper)
      We propose a fully CMOS compatible optical sensor based on the ring resonator mechanism. The waveguide structure of the sensor utilizes the silicon on insulator slot waveguide configuration. The analyte fills the slot and ...
    • Near infrared plasmonic sensor based on Fano resonance 

      Sherif, S.M.; Shahada, L.; Zografopoulos, D.C.; Beccherelli, R.; Swillam M. ( SPIE , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      We introduce a compact plasmonic resonator that is capable of generating a Fano resonance in the transmission spectrum. The Fano resonance is observed with its unique lineshape. The proposed design is simple, compact, easy ...
    • Optical modulator based on silicon nanowires racetrack resonator 

      Sherif S.M.; Shahada L.; Swillam M. ( SPIE , 2018 , Conference Paper)
      An optical modulator based on the racetrack resonator configuration is introduced.The structure of the resonator modulator is built from silicon nanowires on silica.The cladding and voids between the silicon nanowires are ...
    • Vertical Silicon Nanowires Based Directional Coupler Optical Router 

      Mohamed S.; Shahada L.; Swillam M. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Article)
      A fully complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor compatible optical router is demonstrated. The router structure is built using the silicon-organic hybrid platform, while its mechanism is based on the directional coupler ...
