Abstract: Apparatus and methods relating to photonic bandgap optical nanostructures are described. Such optical nanostructures may exhibit prohibited photonic bandgaps or allowed photonic bands, and may be used to reject (e.g., block or attenuate) radiation at a first wavelength while allowing transmission of radiation at a second wavelength. Examples of photonic bandgap optical nanostructures includes periodic and quasi-periodic structures, with periodicity or quasi-periodicity in one, two, or three dimensions and structural variations in at least two dimensions. Such photonic bandgap optical nanostructures may be formed in integrated devices that include photodiodes and CMOS circuitry arranged to analyze radiation received by the photodiodes.

Abstract: System and methods for analyzing single molecules and performing nucleic acid sequencing. An integrated device may include multiple pixels with sample wells configured to receive a sample, which when excited, emits radiation. The integrated device includes a surface having a trench region recessed from a portion of the surface and an array of sample wells, disposed in the trench region. The integrated device also includes a waveguide configured to couple excitation energy to at least one sample well in the array and positioned at a first distance from a surface of the trench region and at a second distance from the surface in a region separate from the trench region. The first distance is smaller than the second distance. The system also includes an instrument that interfaces with the integrated device. The instrument may include an excitation energy source for providing excitation energy to the integrated device by coupling to an excitation energy coupling region of the integrated device.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for improving optical signal collection in an integrated device are described. A microdisk can be formed in an integrated device and increase collection and/or concentration of radiation incident on the microdisk and re-radiated by the microdisk. An example integrated device that can include a microdisk may be used for analyte detection and/or analysis. Such an integrated device may include a plurality of pixels, each having a reaction chamber for receiving a sample to be analyzed, an optical microdisk, and an optical sensor configured to detect optical emission from the reaction chamber. The microdisk can comprise a dielectric material having a first index of refraction that is embedded in one or more surrounding materials having one or more different refractive index values.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optical power distribution within an integrated device, in a substantially uniform manner, to a large number of sample wells and/or other photonic elements. The integrated device and related instruments and systems may be used to analyze samples in parallel. The integrated device may include a grating coupler configured to receive light from an excitation source and optically couple with multiple waveguides configured to couple with sample wells. Vertical extents of optical modes of individual waveguides may be modulated to adjust confinement of light within the waveguides. This modulation may enable more uniform distribution of excitation light to the sample wells, improve excitation efficiency, and prevent overpower on regions of the integrated device.

Abstract: A method of forming an integrated device includes forming a sample well within a cladding layer of a substrate; forming a sacrificial spacer layer over the substrate and into the sample well; performing a directional etch of the sacrificial spacer layer so as to form a sacrificial sidewall spacer on sidewalls of the sample well; forming, over the substrate and into the sample well, a functional layer that provides a location for attachment of a biomolecule; and removing the sacrificial spacer material.

Abstract: System and methods for optical power distribution to a large numbers of sample wells within an integrated device that can analyze single molecules and perform nucleic acid sequencing are described. The integrated device may include a grating coupler configured to receive an optical beam from an optical source and optical splitters configured to divide optical power of the grating coupler to waveguides of the integrated device positioned to couple with the sample wells. Outputs of the grating coupler may vary in one or more dimensions to account for an optical intensity profile of the optical source.
