-In this paper we discuss the unique challenges and opportunities present in using biomaterials in photonics applications. We describe biophotonic materials and devices fabricated and operated in the solid state (fluorescent nanometer thin films, light emitting diodes) and in the liquid state (electrofluidic fluorescent biosensor, microfluidic switches).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
