Resonant nanophotonic biosensors

Optical sensing of biological targets is provided using a metasurface having guided mode resonances with electric field profiles that extend out from the metasurface. Surface functionalization of such metasurfaces can be used to provide sensing for biological targets, such as nucleic acids, proteins...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Optical sensing of biological targets is provided using a metasurface having guided mode resonances with electric field profiles that extend out from the metasurface. Surface functionalization of such metasurfaces can be used to provide sensing for biological targets, such as nucleic acids, proteins, small molecules, extracellular vesicles, and whole cells. Binding of the target to the surface functionalization can affect the resonance wavelength of the guided mode resonances, thereby providing a sensitive assay for the biological targets.
