A monolithic evanescent field spore detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate a monolithically integrated particle sensor based on evanescent field scattering, well suited for use with affinity assays for pathogen recognition. Single micron sized particles may be detected, representative of spores and small bacteria. ©2004 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (250.5300) Photonic integrated circuits; (140.5960) Semiconductor lasers

Integrated opto-chemical sensors
Integrated opto-chemical sensors have promising prospects, for example by having the potential to be realized as very sensitive small monolithic smart multisensor systems with a digital signal output. Here the main accent will be laid on the optical principles underlying chemo-optical waveguiding sensors, focusing on linear evanescent field sensors. Sensing principles and systems based on inter...

متن کاملTrapping and Manipulation of Laser-Cooled Metastable Argon Atoms at a Surface
This thesis discusses experiments on the all-optical trapping and manipulation of lasercooled metastable argon atoms at a surface. A magneto-optical surface trap (MOST) has been realized and studied. This novel hybrid trap combines a magneto-optical trap at a metallic surface with an optical evanescent-wave atom mirror. It allows laser-cooling and trapping of atoms in contact with an evanescent...
متن کاملTheoretical principles of near-field optical microscopies and spectroscopies
This review deals with the principles of near–field optical signals detected near a surface in a manner permitting the mapping of the distribution of the fields close to various kinds of illuminated samples surfaces. We begin with a discussion of the main physical properties of the optical fields near a surface in the absence of any detector. This mainly concerns phenomena involving evanescent ...
متن کاملLabel-free silicon photonic biosensor system with integrated detector array.
An integrated, inexpensive, label-free photonic waveguide biosensor system with multi-analyte capability has been implemented on a silicon photonics integrated circuit from a commercial CMOS line and tested with nanofilms. The local evanescent array coupled (LEAC) biosensor is based on a new physical phenomenon that is fundamentally different from the mechanisms of other evanescent field sensor...
