Abstract :
Spectra of single biological cells including yeast cells and human blood cells using the optofluidic resonant cavity are reported in this work. A method for spectral correlation is also presented to verify the preliminary results of the single cell spectra. The correlation calculation demonstrates that the method is able to differentiate some types of single cells
