Photonic Crystal Biosensor Based on Optical Surface Waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
A label-free biosensor device based on registration of photonic crystal surface waves is described. Angular interrogation of the optical surface wave resonance is used to detect changes in the thickness of an adsorbed layer, while an additional simultaneous detection of the critical angle of total internal reflection provides independent data of the liquid refractive index. The abilities of the device are demonstrated by measuring of biotin molecule binding to a streptavidin monolayer, and by measuring association and dissociation kinetics of immunoglobulin G proteins. Additionally, deposition of PSS / PAH polyelectrolytes is recorded in situ resulting calculation of PSS and PAH monolayer thicknesses separately.

Optical Filter Based On Point Defects in 2D Photonic Crystal Structur
In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. In designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. The initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...

Optical biosensors based on photonic crystal surface waves (PC SWs) offer a possibility to study binding interactions with living cells, overcoming the limitation of rather small evanescent field penetration depth into a sample medium that is characteristic for typical optical biosensors. Besides this, simultaneous excitation of s- and p-polarized surface waves with different penetration depths...
متن کاملOptical biosensors based on photonic crystal surface waves.
Optical biosensors have played a key role in the selective recognition of target biomolecules and in biomolecular interaction analysis, providing kinetic data about biological binding events in real time without labeling. The advantages of the label-free concept are the elimination of detrimental effects from labels that may interfere with fundamental interaction and the absence of a time-consu...

In this paper we combined an optical mixer via photonic crystal ringresonator to propose an all optical 1 to 2 decoder. The main idea used in this paper isbased on controlling the optical behavior of the resonant ring via optical powerintensity. We know that resonant wavelength of the photonic crystal ring resonator isvery sensitive upon the refractive index of dielectric rods, on the other had...
