Popis: An optofluidic sensor for rapid detection of gas-phase analytes from a flowing micro-volume fluid sample is reported. The sensor is comprised of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) thin-film structure integrated with a quartz micropillar array for improved delivery of vapor analytes onto the sensing surface. For our proof-of-principle demonstration, poly(methyl methacrylate) was used as the spacer within the MIM structure to detect ethanol vapors from a fluid sample. It is demonstrated that the micropillar array-integrated sensor shows a much quicker response (less than a minute) and is promising for quantitative colorimetric analysis of volatile analytes in low-volume samples.
