Popis: The use of optical micro-ring resonators as a platform for quantitative and qualitative biosensing applications was explored. Vertically coupled, high refractive index micro-ring resonators, used as sensing elements, were fabricated on silicon chips by photolithographic techniques. An optical reader system consisting of a near-infrared broad band light source and an optical spectrum analyzer were employed for data acquisition. Micro-ring resonator surfaces were modified with specific target receptors, including antibodies and single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides. The system was successfully used for label-free, specific, and rapid detection of whole bacterial cells, proteins and nucleic acids.
