Paper Abstract
A numerical analysis of a refractive index sensor based on multimode interference (MMI) waveguide has been
performed in this paper. The nonlinear refractive index of graphene in the proposed sensor was investigated by applying
external electric field on the graphene cladding layer. The designed waveguide was constructed using silicon oxide
(SiO2) as substrate and silicon as a core while graphene is coated on top of the waveguide slab. The response of the
sensor in the output power was examined and validated by changing liquid samples with different refractive index. The
guided modes of the 1550 nm input plane source at the absence of external electric field were used as the initial
reference point. It is found that there was a threshold magnitude of the field which makes graphene sensitive to the
relative change in the refractive index of the solution. The output results showed a promising indication that this design
is appropriate for environmental monitoring.
