Popis: We present the design, preparation, and performance optimization of strip waveguide in chalcogenide glass (ChG) for broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation. Ternary Ge-Sb-S systems possess large band-gap, high refractive index, and strong laser damage resistance. The characterization of strip waveguide in Ge-Sb-S glass for SC source generation with 1300 nm bandwidth is experimentally demonstrated. Sensing capability of the device is validated for optical absorption of β-phenylethylamine solutions near 1551 nm in various concentrations, revealing the repeatability and consistency of the generated SC spectrum in test. The advantages of high specificity detection scheme, scalable integration and ease of miniaturization might make the device a promising platform for biochemical monitoring.
