  • Title: Porous Silicon Based Resonant Mirrors for Biochemical Sensing.
    Author: De Tommasi E, De Stefano L, Rea I, Di Sarno V, Rotiroti L, Arcari P, Lamberti A, Sanges C, Rendina I.
    Journal: Sensors (Basel); 2008 Oct 23; 8(10):6549-6556. PubMed ID: 27873885.
    Abstract:
    We report on our preliminary results in the realization and characterization of a porous silicon (PSi) resonant mirror (RM) for optical biosensing. We have numerically and experimentally studied the coupling between the electromagnetic field, totally reflected at the base of a high refractive index prism, and the optical modes of a PSi waveguide. This configuration is very sensitive to changes in the refractive index and/or in thickness of the sensor surface. Due to the high specific area of the PSi waveguide, very low DNA concentrations can be detected confirming that the RM could be a very sensitive and labelfree optical biosensor.
