Optical guided-wave chemical and biosensors II

For the first time, distinguished scientists from key institutions worldwide provide a comprehensive approach to optical sensing techniques employing the phenomenon of guided wave propagation for chemical and biosensors. This includes both state-of the-art fundamentals and innovative applications of these techniques. The authors present a deep analysis of their particular subjects in a way to address the needs of novice researchers such as graduate students and post-doctoral scholars as well as of established researchers seeking new avenues. Researchers and practitioners who need a solid foundation or reference willfind this work invaluable. This second of two volumes covers the incorporation of periodic structures in waveguides to exploit the Bragg phenomenon, optical fiber sensors, hollow waveguides and micro-resonators as well as a review ofthe tremendous expansion of terahertz technology for sensing applications. The first work on this topic Covers fundamentals and innovative applications in Chemistry and Life Sciences INDICE: Waveguide Sensors with Periodic Structures: Nanostructured SiliconOptical Sensors.- Resonant Waveguide Grating Biosensor for Microarrays.- Resonant Bio-chemical Sensors Based on Photonic Bandgap Waveguides and Fibers.- Nanophotonic and Subwavelength Structures for Sensing and Biosensing.- Optical Fiber Sensors: Fiber Optic Chemical and Biosensors.- Applications of Fiber Gratings in Chemical and Biochemical Sensing.- Hollow Optical Fiber Probes for Biomedical Spectroscopy.- Hollow Waveguide and Micro-Resonator Sensors.- Capillary Waveguide Biosensor Platform.- Label-Free Optical Ring Resonator Bio/chemical Sensors.- Terahertz Biosensing: Terahertz Biosensing Technology: Progress, Limitations and Future Outlook.
