This chapter reviews the fundamental optical properties and applications of photonic
molecules (PMs)–photonic structures formed by electromagnetic coupling of two or more …

We explore a new calibration-free approach to biodetection based on whispering gallery
modes (WGMs) without a reference measure and relative shifts. Thus, the requirement to …

In this paper, we present the results of numerical simulations of the optical spectra of a three-
sphere photonic molecule. The configuration of the system was continuously modified from …

We are constructing optically coupled biosensors from microspheres and semiconductor
quantum dots (QDs). Detection will be accomplished through the resonance shift of …

Near-membrane and trans-membrane proteins and their interactions with the extracellular
matrix (ECM) can yield valuable information about cell dynamics. However, advances in the …
