Polymer dual ring resonators for label-free optical biosensing using microfluidics

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Apr 18;49(30):3095-7. doi: 10.1039/c3cc38228a. Epub 2013 Feb 11.

Abstract

We demonstrate a polymer resonator microfluidic biosensor that overcomes the complex manufacturing procedures required to fabricate traditional devices. In this new format, we show that a gapless light coupling photonic configuration, fabricated in SU8 polymer, can achieve high sensitivity, label-free chemical sensing in solution and high sensitivity biological sensing, at visible wavelengths.
