The invention relates to a method and at least one arrangement for detecting biological and/or chemical substances. A light beam or a light bundle generated by a pumped light energy source with an excitation wavelength λ Α is directed onto a carrier substrate, on which an optical function structure in the form of an organic luminous means is situated, on which in turn the substance(s) to be detected is/are deposited in a suitable form, such that the difference wavelength λ ΔΑ or X R produced as a result of absorption and changed diffraction optical properties is captured using a suitable receiver, and an evaluation unit that is coupled thereto is used to detect the substances on the basis of a data comparison system. The organic phosphor is preferably at least one organic distributed feedback laser (DFB laser). The method and a special arrangement can also be used to detect a specific substance using individual laser pixels (2P).

摘要:
A sensor (30), such as a lateral flow sensor, which includes a chemical layer (32) and a detector (36) on a flexible substrate (40). An optical signal is produced in response to an analyte (34) placed on the chemical layer. The detector detects the signal, to thereby detect the presence, absence or concentration of the analyte. The detector is on the substrate. The chemical layer and the substrate are laminated together, to thereby form an integrated sensor. The sensor can include a light source (42). The light source can be on the substrate, or on an opposite side of the chemical layer than the detector.
