A Composite Fabry-Perot Cavity Sensor
5230 – Vapor detection is a method used to identify particles in an unknown sample. The market for vapor detection is vast due to the multitude of applications and industries that use the technology. The current standard for detection is a Gas-Chromatography instrument. The technology has been in use for over 100 years and although has relatively rapid detection rates it has limitations in the...

Flow-Through Multi-Hole Structures and Their Applications
5167 – From chemical and biological weapons detection to drug delivery analysis, modern-day society has become increasingly dependent on efficient and reliable molecular detection. Efficiency and sensitivity, however, are difficult to achieve in a single system. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has achieved single-molecule detection using the field-effect near a metal surface to... Read More
Sensitive Intra-Cavity Biosensing Using Energy Transfer
4778 – Optofluidic lasers bring together nanophotonics and microfluidics and have been envisioned as sensitive biological and chemical sensors. Currently, they are limited by the laser wavelength, which must match that of the absorption wavelength of the dyes used. Energy transfer optofluidic lasers are far more efficient, but only a handful of them have been successfully demonstrated thus far.... Read More
