Height Resolution of Antibody Spots Measured by Spinning-Disk Interferometry on the BioCD
Spinning-disc interferometry (SDI) is a high-speed laser scanning approach to surface metrology that uses common-path interferometry to measure protein spots on a BioCD disk. The measurement sensitivity depends on the scanning pitch and on the time-base. Based on high-resolution laser scanning images of printed antibody spots, we quantify the protein sensitivity as a function of the scan parame...
متن کاملAdaptive interferometry of protein on a BioCD.
Adaptive spinning-disk interferometry is capable of measuring surface profiles of a thin biolayer with subnanometer longitudinal resolution. High-speed phase modulation in the signal beam arises from the moving surface height profile on the spinning disk and is detected as a homodyne signal via dynamic two-wave mixing. A photorefractive quantum-well device performs as an adaptive mixer that com...
متن کاملCommon-path interferometric detection of protein monolayer on the BioCD.
The bio-optical compact disk (BioCD) is an optical biosensor that performs common-path molecular interferometry of patterned proteins on a disk spinning at high speed. The common-path configuration makes it ultrastable and allows surface height precision below 10 pm. In this paper we show that two complementary interferometric quadrature conditions exist simultaneously that convert the modulus ...
متن کاملHigh-speed label-free detection by spinning-disk micro-interferometry.
Spinning-disk interferometers are a new class of analytic sensors to detect immobilized biomolecules with high speed and high sensitivity. The disks are composed of a large number of surface-normal self-referencing interferometers, analogous to an optical CD, but operating on the principle of microdiffraction quadrature that achieves sensitive linear detection of bound molecules. The surface-no...
متن کاملSpinning-disk self-referencing interferometry of antigen-antibody recognition.
A gold ridge microstructure fabricated to a height of lambda/8 on a high-reflectivity substrate behaves as a wave-front-splitting self-referencing interferometer in phase quadrature when illuminated by a Gaussian laser beam and observed in the far field along the optic axis. When immuno-gammaglobulin (IgG) antibodies are selectively immobilized on the gold microstructure, they recognize and bin...
