Advanced Instrumentation
The ability to develop new types of optical components and sensors often created the opportunity to perform detection in ways that are faster or more accurate than currently used existing methods. Often, detection systems must be used outside the optics laboratory environment, so new methods are needed that can make sensor systems compact, rugged, and inexpensive. Our group is developing several new types of optical sensing instruments. In one project, we have developed a compact inexpensive method for detecting laser wavelengths with high resolution. In another project, we are developing instruments that can take advantage of the fluorescence amplification properties of photonic crystals for DNA/protein microarray imaging and cell imaging. Follow the links below to learn more about these projects. We are also developing methods for label-free imaging with high spatial resolution using the properties of photonic crystal biosensors.
