RESUMEN
Temperature is a very important parameter in scientific research, production and life. Almost all the properties of materials are related to temperature. The precise measurement of the temperature is a very important task, so the temperature sensor is widely used as a core part in the temperature measuring instrument. A novel surface plasmon micro-ring sensor suitable for humidity sensing is presented in this paper. The sensor uses a multi-layered surface plasmon waveguide structure and choosing Polyimide (Polyimide, PI) as the moisture material. We get the transfer function of surface plasmon micro-ring sensor by using transfer matrix method. Refractive indexes of Polyimide and the multilayer waveguide structure change as environment relative humidity changes, thus leading to an obvious peak drift of output spectrum. The paper mainly discusses the influence of the changes of the refractive index of humidity-sensing parts on the output spectrum, and the transmission characteristics of multilayer waveguide structure. Through the finite element method and the theoretical simulation of Matlab, We can draw: When the length between the two coupling points of the U-shaped waveguide is an integer multiple of circumference of the micro-ring, an obvious drift in the horizontal direction appears, the free spectral range (FSR) doubled and the sensitivity is 0.0005 µm/%RH; When the external environment relative humidity RH changes from 10% to 100% RH, scatter is change between including (including 0.005 m to 0.005 m, compared to other humidity sensor, the Sensitivity of sensor improves 10~50 times and the transmission is very stable. Results show that the design of surface plasma micro ring sensors has better sensitivity, stable performance and can be used in the humidity measurement, achieving a high sensitivity in the sense of humidity when the wide range of filter frequency selection is taken into account, and providing a theoretical basis for the preparation of micro-optics.
RESUMEN
A novel humidity sensor of polyimide (PI) based on the series coupled two-micro-ring resonators is proposed in the present paper. The transfer function of the micro ring resonator was calculated by using the transfer matrix method and the coupled mode theory. The authors compared the output spectrum characteristics of the traditional single micro-ring and series coupled two-micro-ring with different radii. The refractive index of the PI waveguide changes with different environmental humidity and this will lead to the drift of the output spectrum of the micro-ring resonator. By detecting the drift of the output spectrum we can measure the humidity, and the sensitivity and the sensing-range of the sensor are acquired accordingly. We also analyzed the output spectrum characteristics of resonators at different humidity sensing part. The theoretical results show the good performance of humidity sensor which could be used as the optimum sensing unit when the whole structure of the series coupled two-micro-ring resonators serves as the sensing part. The sensing-range and sensitivity of the system are improved by series micro-ring resonators of different radii compared to the conventional sensor with single micro-ring resonator. The free spectral range (FSR) of resonator reaches to 0.15 µm, the sensing-range is 10% RH-80% RH, and the sensitivity is 0.001 7 µm (% RH)(-1). Series coupled two-micro-ring with different radii gives theoretical instruction for producing integrated humidity sensor with low-cost, simple structure and high sensitivity.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To compare the proteomics change of human dental pulp cells induced by recombinant human interleukin-1beta (rhIL-1beta). METHODS: The dental pulp cell entire protein was separated by a two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) technique. The rhIL-1beta induction and the normal dental pulp cell protein 2-DE atlas were established. Difference expression protein was confirmed by ImageMaster 2D Elite 5.0 software analysis. To identify differentially expressed proteins spot by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and get peptide mass fingerprinting. RESULTS: Comparing the two groups of protein 2-DE atlas, 39 protein spots were obviously different. Including 15 points in the induction of protein expression were higher, 13 new protein spots, 7 protein points expressions were lower, there were only four points in the control group. After mass spectra identification, 10 protein spots were confirmed at last. CONCLUSION: Pulp cells to rhIL-1beta responsiveness is a very complex process, which involve a variety of protein molecules, rhIL-1beta related 10 protein spots have been identified in the dental pulp cell for the first time. To explore pulpitis's early response mechanism provides a new clue and ideas.
