TL;DR: The design, fabrication and measurement of integrated Bragg gratings in a compact single-mode silicon-on-insulator ridge waveguide, and the analysis shows that the Bragg wavelength deviation is mainly caused by the wafer thickness variation.

TL;DR: This paper presents a review of previously proposed optical oxygen sensor types, materials and formats most applicable to microfluidic cell culture, and analyzes their suitability for this and other in vitro applications.

TL;DR: By serializing multiple disks on a single waveguide bus in a CMOS compatible process, this work describes a biosensor capable of multiplexed interrogation of biological samples and demonstrates their ability to detect the specific capture of biomolecules.

TL;DR: The design and experimental characterization of SWG based rings realized on SOI chips without upper cladding are presented, showing excellent potential for use in sensing applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare various resonators in terms of sensor metrics for label-free bio-sensing in a micro-fluidic environment, and identify that, while evanescent-field sensors all operate on the principle that the analyte's refractive index shifts the resonant frequency, there are important differences between implementations that lie in the relationship between the optical field overlap with the analyzete and the relative contributions of the various loss mechanisms.
