Abstract
This paper reports on a transmitted-type dual-channel guided-mode resonance (GMR) sensor system that uses phase-shifting interferometry (PSI) to achieve tunable phase detection sensitivity. Five interference images are captured for the PSI phase calculation within by using a liquid crystal retarder and a USB web camera. The GMR sensor structure is formed by a nanoimprinting process, and the dual-channel sensor device structure for molding is fabricated using a 3D printer. By changing the rotation angle of the analyzer in front of the camera in the PSI system, the sensor detection sensitivity can be tuned. The proposed system may achieve high throughput as well as high sensitivity. The experimental results show that an optimal detection sensitivity of can be achieved.
