This study proposed a filter-free wavelength sensor with a double-well structure for detecting fluorescence without an optical filter. The impurity concentration was optimized and simulated to form a double-well-structured sensor, of which the result was consistent with the fabricated sensor. Furthermore, we proposed a novel wavelength detection method using the current ratio based on the silicon absorption coefficient. The results showed that the proposed method successfully detected single wavelengths in the 460–800 nm range. Additionally, we confirmed that quantification was possible using the current ratio of the sensor for a relatively wide band wavelength, such as fluorescence. Finally, the fluorescence that was emitted from the reagents ALEXA488, 594, and 680 was successfully identified and quantified. The proposed sensor can detect wavelengths without optical filters, which can be used in various applications in the biofield, such as POCT as a miniaturized wavelength detection sensor.

A compact localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor system integrated with a filter-free wavelength sensor (FFS) for quantitative virus detection methods was demonstrated. The changed transmission spectrum of LSPR sensor by molecule was measured using an FFS as a transducer without a conventional spectrometer. We designed and fabricated gold nanostructures optimized for virus detection. As the concentration of S-protein RBD changed from 0.1 to 10 ng/ml, the change in current ratio from 0.012 to 0.094 was obtained by the FFS. We expect a compact and rapid virus detection system with qualitatively diagnose to be realized using the proposed method.
