Enhanced 2D Photonic Crystal Sensor for High Sensitivity Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) Detection

A Photonic Crystal Gel for Naked-Eye Detection of Uric Acid with High Sensitivity and Specificity

“…In recent years, more attention has been devoted to the field of colorimetric applications of PC sensors owing to their merits of nonfading, easy-to-operate, and unique optical modulation properties . PC sensors have demonstrated utility in detecting glucose, , DNA, , protein, , H 2 O 2 , , temperature, − and other signals. Since uricase can oxidize uric acid to H 2 O 2 , − it is expected that H 2 O 2 -responsive redox PC sensors will be used for uric acid detection.…”

GaAs membrane PhC lasers threshold reduction using AlGaAs barriers and improved processing

“…2D photonic crystal (PhC) are particularly successful to study light-matter interaction [1][2][3][4][5][6], induce nonlinear light conversion [7][8][9] and to serve as extremely compact laser sources [10][11][12][13][14]. In particular, active suspended membranes are an ideal test-bench for experimenting with novel laser geometries and principles, such as chemical and biological sensors [15,16], logic gates for photonic computation [17].…”
