Abstract:Label-free techniques for sensing are of great interest for identification of molecules on a functional surface. Currently, a growing research activity dealing with optical approaches does contribute to the development of new devices.A remarkable advance in the field of bio-detection is given by the use of photonic crystals enabling to design and fabricate high-sensitivity and compact novel optical sensors. Many photonic crystal sensors on several different materials have been proposed in literature. However, … Show more
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.
