Abstract :
The paper presents specific protein detection with a planar photonic crystal waveguide (PC-WG) sensor. The advantages of the device we suggest are that it is realized in silicon and can be integrated on a SOI-wafer (silicon-on-insulator) along with other electronic and optical devices. Thus, the fabrication technology used for the sensor is the same as for CMOS electronic devices. The PC-WG can be made very compact and the sample volume to be analyzed can also be reduced considerably compared to many other biosensors presented in the literature.
