Biophotonic sensor design using a 1D defective annular photonic crystal for the detection of creatinine concentration in blood serum

Abstract

A new biophotonic sensor composed of a porous silicon (PSi)-based one-dimensional (1D) defective annular photonic crystal (APC) was designed and theoretically investigated using a modified transfer matrix method (TMM) in terms of cylindrical coordinates.

Detection of Reproductive Hormones in Females by Using 1D Photonic Crystal-Based Simple Reconfigurable Biosensing Design

“…Under the influence of the estradiol sample, the intensity of the defect mode varies between a maximum of 89.22% at θ = 10 • and a minimum of 78.68% θ = 40 • , as shown in Figure 6b. Thus, the variation in angle of incidence can be used to improve the performance of any biosensor design similar to the findings of Arafa et al [33,34].…”

“…This is the fourth part. Finally, a software and hardware combination is used to display the results of the biosensing process [30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

“…Motivated by the aforementioned piece of excellent research work [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] in this paper, we propose a 1D photonic crystal (PhC) capable of sensing minute change in the refractive index of blood samples containing progesterone and estradiol reproductive hormones of different concentration levels in women. This design measures the shift in position of the defect mode inside PBG of the proposed structure depending upon the change in the refractive index of blood samples containing progesterone and estradiol reproductive hormones of different concentration levels in women.…”

“…We have assumed that the plane electromagnetic wave is impinging the structure at an angle of incidence αo with respect to normal from air (Figure 1). The interaction between the plane electromagnetic wave and the structure is described by well-known transfer matrix [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] as The interaction between the plane electromagnetic wave and the structure is described by well-known transfer matrix [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] as…”

“…In the recent years, photonic biosensing technology-based optical sensing has emerged as a hot research field for design and development of diversified ranges of bio-photonic sensors which have tremendous applications in agricultural, biochemical, environmental, medical and defense sectors [20][21][22][23]. One example is a high-performance photonic biosensor capable of detecting water-borne bacteria of sensitivity which varies between 474.2 nm/RIU to 483.6 nm/RIU that has been theoretically examined by Aly and his coworker [2].…”
