Abstract

See full text

A bioserisor platform is configured with upconverting nanoparticles on the surface of a resonant grating structure with enhanced sensitivity. The grating structure is illuminated with a light beam at one of its resonance modes to form a strong evanescent field at the surface and used for high sensitivity assays. The strong evanescent field triggers the upconverting nanoparticles to generate enhanced and localized emission on the grating surface, with lower background and lower auto-fluorescence from the grating substrate. This leads to improved performance in detecting analytes in bioassays.
