Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators as Biosensors
The previous chapter introduces biosensor technologies according to the physical nature of their signal transduction processes. Optical biosensors are just one category that includes a wide array of novel devices. The present work deals with a technology based on whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical resonators [60, 61]. Understanding how they are fabricated and used is important for appreciati...
متن کاملWhispering Gallery Mode Thermometry
This paper presents a state-of-the-art whispering gallery mode (WGM) thermometer system, which could replace platinum resistance thermometers currently used in many industrial applications, thus overcoming some of their well-known limitations and their potential for providing lower measurement uncertainty. The temperature-sensing element is a sapphire-crystal-based whispering gallery mode reson...
متن کاملWhispering Gallery Mode Biosensor
sensor which uses whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in dielectric microspheres for biomolecular detection. The WGMs are excited by evanescent coupling to an etch-eroded single mode optical fiber. WGM resonance positions are detected as Lorentzian dips in the intensity of the fiber-transmitted light. The polarization of molecules interacting with the evanescent field of the WGM on the microsphere ...
متن کاملFlow-Enhanced Transient Response in Whispering Gallery Mode Biosensors
Whispering gallery mode (WGM) optical resonator sensors are an extremely sensitive label-free technology for detecting the binding of biomolecules in solution. To better understand the fast transient response observed with these devices, we model mass transfer to spherical and toroidal WGM sensors of identical outer radius. Finite element simulations predict a 3-10 fold higher binding frequency...
متن کاملWhispering-gallery mode microdisk lasers
A new microlaser design based on the high-reflectivity whispering-gallery modes around the edge of a thin semiconductor microdisk is described and initial experimental results are presented. Optical confinement within the thin disk plane results in a microresonator with potential for single-mode, ultralow threshold lasers. Initial experiments use selective etching techniques in the InP/InGaAsP ...
