Abstract

Light is the historical medium for analysis in biology. Micro/nanotechnologies renewed the optical components fabrication processes following the example of electronics integration. A full optical system, as an interferometer or a spectrometer, for instance, can be integrated on a single chip and light can be confined at the nanometer scale allowing for interaction with a single biological entity (cell, enzyme, antigen, etc.). Thus, robust, portable, and sensitive systems can be developed by optical integration. Main ways to confine and propagate the electromagnetic wave will be introduced for the non-specialist: optical and plasmonic waveguides and photonic crystals will be discussed. Fabrication technologies for optical integration will be presented depending on the nature of the materials to be considered as semiconductors, glasses, metals, or polymer. Further is explained the sensing principle based on the detection of refractive index change. Finally, a review of the actual trends for the realization of biosensors is presented, discussed, and compared in terms of refractive index change resolution to come out with design strategies to enhance the sensors resolution for small volume detection and earlier diagnostic.
