Journal ArticleDOI
Label-Free, Single-Molecule Detection with Optical Microcavities
TL;DR: A highly specific and sensitive optical sensor based on an ultrahigh quality (Q) factor (Q > 108) whispering-gallery microcavity is reported and label-free, single-molecule detection of interleukin-2 was demonstrated in serum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Label-free biological and chemical sensors
Heather K. Hunt,Andrea M. Armani +1 more
TL;DR: A brief overview of the different types of biosensors and the critical parameters governing their performance will be given and a more in-depth discussion of optical devices, surface functionalization methods to increase device specificity, and fluidic techniques to improve sample delivery will be reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy water detection using ultra-high-Q microcavities.
Andrea M. Armani,Kerry J. Vahala +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ultra-high-Q optical microcavities (Q>10 to the 7th) to detect D2O in H2O.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioconjugation Strategies for Microtoroidal Optical Resonators
TL;DR: This work demonstrates a facile method to impart specificity to optical microcavities, without adversely impacting their optical performance, and represents one of the first examples of non-physisorption-based bioconjugation of microtoroidal optical resonators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-high-Q microcavity operation in H2O and D2O
TL;DR: In this paper, planar microtoroid resonators are used to measure the relationship between quality factor and toroid diameter at wavelengths ranging from visible to near-IR in both H2O and D2O, and results are then compared to predictions of a numerical model.
