TL;DR: An aluminum surface passivation treatment based on oxygen plasma is developed in order to circumvent the undesired effects of oxidation and corrosion usually found in aluminum-based biosensors.

TL;DR: A high-index-contrast waveguide structure material used to guide light through a low-refractive-index material is described in this paper, where the waveguide structures are capable of guiding and confining light in such a way that very high optical intensity is obtained in a small cross-sectional area or gap filled with any material with sufficiently low refractive index, relative to the remainder of the structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated micron-size all-optical Si switch capable of 94.7 GHz operation frequency is presented, which consists of a microring resonator formed by Si/SiO/sub 2/ slot-waveguides with a low-index nonlinear optical material in the slot region.

TL;DR: Biophotonic sensing arrays of 60x60 microm(2) made of periodic lattices of high aspect ratio SU-8 nano-pillars are developed in order to demonstrate their capability for label-free molecule detection, as well as the sensitivity enhancement in comparison with a single layer ofSU-8.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of the novel selective surface modification procedure is supported by comparing experimental and numerical calculations of the optical performance of a label-free optical ring resonator based on Si(3)N(4)/SiO(2) slot-waveguides.
