• 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 ...

      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 ...
    • Sub-Femtojoule Hybrid Plasmonic Optical Modulator 

      Sherif S.M.; Elsayed M.; Shahada L.A.; Swillam M.A. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Article)
      A highly compact optical modulator is proposed and analyzed. The modulator is based on the hybrid plasmonic waveguide platform. The structure of the modulator is built from silicon, silver, and electro-optical polymer ...
    • Vertical silicon nanowire-based racetrack resonator optical sensor 

      Sherif S.M.; Elsayed M.Y.; Shahada L.A.; Swillam M.A. ( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)
      We propose a highly sensitive optical sensor which is built from silicon nanowires. The silicon nanowires are arranged to form a ring resonator. The silicon nanowires cladding and voids are filled with the analyte. The ...
