摘要:
Optical phase detection includes generating a first lightwave having a first polarization and a second lightwave having a polarization that is offset from the first polarization, and imposing a relative delay between the first and second lightwaves. The relative delay causes a frequency offset between the lightwaves as wavelength is tuned over a designated wavelength range. Directing the first and second lightwaves to a target provides a third lightwave and a fourth lightwave. A polarization component of the third lightwave and a polarization component of the fourth lightwave are detected to provide a detected signal at the frequency offset. The optical phase detection then includes extracting a phase difference, induced by the target, between the polarization components of the third and the fourth lightwaves.

Light-sensing systems and methods thereof are described. A light source illuminates target areas arrayed on a surface. Light guides receive light reflected from the target areas. The amount of light reflected from a target area corresponds at least in part to the composition of a substance associated with that target area. Detectors receive reflected light carried by the light guides.

A multiplexed optical detector includes a set of optical sensors coupled to a multiplexer that maps subsets of the optical sensors to at least one multiplexed output provided by the multiplexer. The subsets of optical sensors are configurable according to addresses that are provided to the multiplexer.

A droplet sample holder, especially a sample holder for use in a measuring instrument utilizing surface plasmon resonance. The sample holder reduces or minimizes the measurement distortion result of the droplet “pherpheral concentration effect” by surrounding the analysis zone with a wettable (hydrophilic) zone that captures the periphery of the droplet to keep the pheriphery of the droplet and the increased concentration of the analyte out of the analysis zone. The wettable zone is surrounded by a nonwettable (hydrophobic) zone that restricts the periphery of the droplet to analysis zone and the wettable zone.
摘要:
An incident signal illuminates an SPR sensor over a wavelength range. Intensity of a reflected signal from the SPR sensor is detected with wavelength discrimination imposed on the incident signal or the reflected signal. The wavelength discrimination is imposed at a predesignated tuning rate within the wavelength range. The detected intensity is then sampled at a sampling rate and an intensity profile associated with the SPR sensor is established from the sampling with a wavelength resolution determined by the tuning rate and the sampling rate.

Optical devices of excellent optical and physical properties produced from cured resins are disclosed. The resins and/or the cured hybrid polymer material made with the resins are characterized by a high level of cycloaliphatic-containing groups. Specific additives that can participate in crosslinking the curable polysiloxane provide additional physical property advantages.

The invention in particular embodiments provides an evanescent wave sensor which includes a ligand bound to a sensor substrate via a β-hydroxy-linker moiety, as defined herein. Methods of making the subject evanescent wave sensors are also provided which include contacting a first reactive moiety which has an epoxy-ring moiety with a second reactive moiety which has an amino moiety or a thiol moiety, as further described herein. Also provided by the invention are methods in which a subject evanescent wave sensor is contacted with a sample, and binding of analytes in the sample to the sensor is assessed by evanescent wave detection. The invention also provides kits and systems for performing the subject methods.
摘要:
An integrated opto-electric sensor includes a wavenumber matching structure that is integrated onto a silicon substrate, and a first conductive electrode that is adjacent to one of a lightly doped and an undoped region in the silicon substrate to form a Schottky junction. A dielectric is positioned adjacent to the first conductive electrode, and a second conductive electrode is formed at the silicon substrate. The first conductive electrode and the second conductive electrode provide coupling for a detected signal that is provided in response to illumination of the wavenumber matching structure by an optical signal.
