Titel
Label-free biosensor based on an all-polymer DFB laser
Abstract
A monolithic active optical resonator biosensor is fabricated for label-free sensing. The all-polymer sensor consists of a polymer distributed feedback (DFB) laser and a hydrogel recognition layer. Specific binding of analyte modulates the effective refractive index, shifting the laser emission wavelength. Real time detection of avidinbiotin interactions is demonstrated as a model for the new label-free biosensing principle.
