This review provides an insight into the recent developments of photonic crystal (PhC)-
based devices for sensing and imaging, with a particular emphasis on biosensors. We focus …

Biosensors are revolutionizing the health-care systems worldwide, permitting to survey
several diseases, even at their early stage, by using different biomolecules such as proteins …

Photonic crystals–optical devices able to respond to changes in the refractive index of a
small volume of space–are an emerging class of label-free chemical-and bio-sensors. This …

We review the development and application of nanostructured photonic crystal surfaces and
a hyperspectral reflectance imaging detection instrument which, when used together …

Rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of viruses is critical for applications in medical
diagnostics, biosecurity, and environmental safety. In this article, we report the application of …

We report the assessment of the sensitivity of a microplate-compatible resonant waveguide
grating imager. The sensitivity to bulk refractive index changes was determined using a …

Photonic crystals and microcavities act as on-chip nano-optical tweezers for identification
and manipulation of biological objects. Until now, optical trap** of virus and bacteria has …

Traditional fluorescence enhancement based on a match of the maximum excitation or
emission of fluorescence molecule with the spectra of the nanostructure can hardly enhance …

Abstract Ru complexes ([Ru (dpp) 3] Cl 2) were spin coated on poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) opal photonic crystals (PhCs), and a∼ 320-fold luminescence …

The rapidly develo** field of porous silicon-based biosensors that utilize optical
transduction is comprehensively reviewed by distinguishing the differing strategies for small …
