Highly dispersive photonic band-gap-edge optofluidic biosensors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2006
Highly dispersive photonic band-gap-edge optofluidic biosensors are studied theoretically. We demonstrate that these structures are strongly sensitive to the refractive index of the liquid, which is used to tune dispersion of the photonic crystal.
