Abstract :
In this paper we discuss the unique challenges and opportunities present in using biomaterials in photonics applications. We describe biophotonic materials and devices fabricated and operated in the solid state (fluorescent nanometer thin films, light emitting diodes) and in the liquid state (electrofluidic fluorescent biosensor, microfluidic switches).
