摘要:
An article, process, and method for surface plasmon resonance plates are described. A substrate is covered with a thin metal film onto which a second thin metal film is deposited. The surface of the second thin metal film is converted to the metal oxide which is used to covalently bond organosilanes to the surface. Reactive organosilanes containing terminal bonding groups are arranged in a plurality of spots that are surrounded by inert organosilanes. Biomolecule attachment to the binding group is detected or measured from surface plasmon signals from the first thin metal film.
摘要:
An electro-optic polymer semiconductor integrated circuit includes one or more doped regions configured to drive one or more electrodes, and the electrodes are configured to drive a juxtaposed electro-optic core. The assembly may include a planarization layer disposed at least partially coplanar with the electrodes. The circuit may include an integrated multiplexer, driver configured to receive a signal from the multiplexer, at least one high speed electrode configured to be driven by the driver and modulate light energy passed through a hyperpolarizable poled chromophore regions disposed near the high speed electrode. The circuit may include a calibration storage circuit. The circuit may include, during fabrication, structures to provide voltage to a buried electrode and a shield to prevent damage from the poling field.

A low resistivity hybrid optical cladding may be formed from a sol-gel doped with an inorganic salt such as lithium perchlorate. An electro-optic device may be formed by poling an organic chromophore-loaded modulation layer through at least one layer of the low resistivity hybrid optical cladding.
