Asymmetric Mach–Zehnder Interferometer Based Biosensors for Aflatoxin M1 Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we present a study of Aflatoxin M1 detection by photonic biosensors based on Si₃N₄ Asymmetric Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (aMZI) functionalized with antibodies fragments (Fab'). We measured a best volumetric sensitivity of 10⁴ rad/RIU, leading to a Limit of Detection below 5 × 10(-7) RIU. On sensors functionalized with Fab', we performed specific and non-specific sensing measurements at various toxin concentrations. Reproducibility of the measurements and re-usability of the sensor were also investigated.

We have achieved the design, fabrication and packaging of microfluidic networks with photonic sensors for novel labon-chip platforms which incorporate the on-chip biosensing detection. As sensors, we used an integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on TIR waveguides (Si/SiO2/Si3N4) of micro/nanodimensions for evanescent field detection of biomolecular interactions onto the sensing are...

The design, fabrication, and characterization of a label-free Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) optical biosensor that incorporates a highly dispersive one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal in one arm are presented. The sensitivity of this slow light MZI-based sensor scales with the length of the slow light photonic crystal region. The numerically simulated sensitivity of a MZI sensor with a 16...

Integrated label-free photonic biosensors provide an excellent limit of detection in combination with a low-cost disposable. Their application has thus far been limited by the necessity of an expensive tunable laser. In this article, we present a novel sensor, eliminating the tunable laser by combining a sensitive Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a broadband light source and an on-chip spectral...

In this paper a method for digitally recording four quarter-reference-wave-holograms (by CCD) in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup, and reconstructing the object wave-front by numerical method is presented. The terms of direct transmission, auto-correlation and conjugate wave in the four wave reconstruction are cancelled out and only one original object wave is left after overlapping. Reconst...
