    Abstract: A photonic biosensor including a biological probe disposed on a mid-infrared-transparent waveguide can be used to detect biological analytes in biological samples, using specific binding of the analyte to the probe in conjunction with absorption spectroscopy. In various embodiments, the biosensor is used for molecular diagnostics, e.g., to detect oligonucleotides or proteins associated with a coronavirus.

    Abstract: A waveguide structure including a mid-infrared-transparent waveguide on a mid-infrared-transparent undercladding may serve as a photonic chemical sensor for measuring characteristic absorptions of analytes brought in physical contact with the waveguide. In some embodiments, a sensor including an amorphous-silicon waveguide on a barium-titanate undercladding can operate at wavelengths ranging from 2.5 μm to about 7 μm; this sensor may be manufactured by epitaxial growth of the undercladding on a substrate, followed by CMOS-compatible creation of the waveguide. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Raman spectroscopy of chemical and biological samples can be accomplished with photonic sensors amenable to chip-scale integration. In various embodiments, such a photonic sensor includes first and second optical waveguides coupled via an optical ring resonator, the ring resonator configured to resonantly enhance, and selectively couple into the second optical waveguide, a Raman scattering signal generated, when the first waveguide and/or resonator are exposed to a sample, by interaction of an analyte in the sample with excitation light coupled into the first optical waveguide.

    Abstract: Chalcogenide waveguides with high width-to-height aspect ratios and a smooth exposed surfaces can serve as mid-infrared evanescent-absorption-based sensors for detecting and identifying volatile organic compounds and/or determining their concentration, optionally in real-time. The waveguide sensors may be manufactured using a modified sputtering process in which the sputtering target and waveguide substrate are titled and/or laterally offset relative to each other and the substrate is continuously rotated.
