Self-referencing and Sensitivity Optimization in Photonic Crystal Slabs for Biosensing Applications

Photonic crystal slabs (PCS) are explored in the context of optofluidic refractive index (RI) sensing for portable, label-free, biosensing applications. The accuracy of RI sensors is limited by noise signals that cause a change in RI that cannot be differentiated from the signal of interest. For thi...
