“…The modifications of ivy nanoparticles to improve the optical properties are expected. Recently, in order to increase refractive index of organic polymers, surface modification methods, such as deep UV modification and ion-beam implantation, have been reported [ 22 , 23 ]. If similar modifications are applied to ivy nanoparticles, the refractive index mismatch between ivy nanoparticles and the medium will become larger.…”

Though much research has been conducted for nanoparticles, naturally occurring nanoparticles have not yet been well explored for their diverse properties and potential applications. This paper reports the optical absorption and scattering properties of nanoparticles secreted by English ivy. Both experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted. Strong ultraviolet extinction and excellent visible transparency are observed, compared to the inorganic TiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles at similar concentrations. The contributions of absorption and scattering to the total extinction are quantified by simulation of the Mie scattering theory.

“…At the other end of the spectrum, polymer optical biosensors offer low cost, simple fabrication, but suffer from lower sensitivities than silicon equivalents [10,12,13, 20–22]. Polymers are commercially available with a range of thermal, mechanical, and optical properties, and can be readily functionalized for the immobilization of biomolecular sensing agents [23].…”

Optically resonant devices are promising as label-free biomolecular sensors due to their ability to concentrate electromagnetic energy into small mode volumes and their capacity for multiplexed detection. A fundamental limitation of current optical biosensor technology is that the biomolecular interactions are limited to the surface of the resonant device, while the highest intensity of electromagnetic energy is trapped within the core. In this paper, we present nanoporous polymer optofluidic devices consisting of ring resonators coupled to bus waveguides. We report a 40% increase in polymer device sensitivity attributed to the addition of core energy- bioanalyte interactions.
