A new biophotonic sensor based on photonic crystal (PC) has been designed for the detection of creatinine concentration in blood, and is considered an important small molecule biomarker of renal dysfunction.
Organic-compound-based sensors have important applications, such as applications in geothermal power stations, the shoe industry, the extraction of vegetable oil, azeotropic calibration and medical science.
Tuberculosis is one of the most widespread infectious and deadliest diseases in the world. The death percentage is larger than that in the case of the current Coronavirus. Bio-photonic sensors represent a promising option for developing reliable, simple, and affordable tools for the effective detection of tuberculosis. In this paper, a novel design of an optical biosensor will be used as a tuberculosis detector based on a resonance cavity with high sensitivity in one-dimensional photonic crystals demonstrated theoretically. The results show that the increase of the defect layer thickness shifts the defect mode to a longer wavelength region. Besides, it is shifted to a shorter wavelength region via the increase of the incidence angle. The change in thickness of the defect layer and incident angle of light cause an optimization for our suggested structure and the sensitivity reaches 1390 nm/RIU. Our structure is very simple for industrial design.
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.
