Engineering optical properties of gold-coated nanoporous anodic alumina for biosensing
The effect in the Fabry-Pérot optical interferences of nanoporous anodic alumina films coated with gold is studied as a function of the porosity and of the gold thickness by means of reflectance spectroscopy. Samples with porosities between 14 and 70% and gold thicknesses (10 and 20 nm) were considered. The sputtering of gold on the nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) films results in an increase o...
متن کاملNanostructural Engineering of Nanoporous Anodic Alumina for Biosensing Applications
Modifying the diameter of the pores in nanoporous anodic alumina opens new possibilities in the application of this material. In this work, we review the different nanoengineering methods by classifying them into two kinds: in situ and ex situ. Ex situ methods imply the interruption of the anodization process and the addition of intermediate steps, while in situ methods aim at realizing the in-...
متن کاملTunable Fabry-Pérot interferometer based on nanoporous anodic alumina for optical biosensing purposes
Here, we present a systematic study about the effect of the pore length and its diameter on the specular reflection in nanoporous anodic alumina. As we demonstrate, the specular reflection can be controlled at will by structural tuning (i.e., by designing the pore geometry). This makes it possible to produce a wide range of Fabry-Pérot interferometers based on nanoporous anodic alumina, which a...
متن کاملNanoporous Anodic Alumina: A Versatile Platform for Optical Biosensors
Nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) has become one of the most promising nanomaterials in optical biosensing as a result of its unique physical and chemical properties. Many studies have demonstrated the outstanding capabilities of NAA for developing optical biosensors in combination with different optical techniques. These results reveal that NAA is a promising alternative to other widely explored...
متن کاملEffect of pore diameter in nanoporous anodic alumina optical biosensors.
The influence of pore diameter over the optical response of nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) films is analyzed by reflectance interference spectroscopy. NAA films manufactured by a two-step anodization procedure in oxalic acid exhibiting three well-defined pore diameter distributions with pores of 32 ± 4, 50 ± 3, and 73 ± 2 nm are studied. The optical detection of biomolecules is investigated by...
