Photonic-crystal waveguide biosensor

Opt Express. 2007 Mar 19;15(6):3169-76. doi: 10.1364/oe.15.003169.

Abstract

A photonic-crystal waveguide sensor is presented for biosensing. The sensor is applied for refractive index measurements and detection of protein-concentrations. Concentrations around 10 mug/ml (0.15muMolar) are measured with excellent signal to noise ratio, and a broad, dynamic refractive index sensing range extending from air to high viscous fluids is presented.
