Final Report Abstract
Optical label-free sensing has been shown as a powerful tool in biochemical detection, which overcomes the drawbacks of time-consuming, complex, and expensive processes in labeling techniques. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors and whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator sensors, as the two prominent platforms, have been demonstrated for label-free sensing. If to combine the advantage from SPR and WGM, label-free sensing performance can be further boosted on a platform of hybrid optoplasmonic microcavities. The main objective of the proposal was to design and optimize hybrid optoplasmonic structures constituted by rolled-up microtube cavities and noble metal nanostructures for label-free sensing. The ultimate goal was to realize on-chip integrative devices for multifunctional detection. With the support of this project, in situ generation of silver nanoparticles for selective coupling between localized SPR and WGM was investigated on hybrid microtube cavities. This approach provides an in situ fabrication technique of plasmonic nanoparticles on microcavities for manipulating photon- plasmon coupling which is of interest for optical tuning abilities and enhanced light-matter interactions. We demonstrated mode interaction and resonant hybridization in nanomembrane-formed concentric dual ring cavities, which offers a compact platform for sensing application. Graphene-activated optoplasmonic cavities were designed and demonstrated based on microtube cavities, which were employed for in situ monitoring of the photodegradation dynamics on the molecular level in real time. This demonstration paves the way for real-time, high-precision analysis of photodegradation by an optical sensor. We reported in situ detection of the dynamic evolution of nanoscale water layers on an amorphous oxide surface probed by optical resonances, which overcomes the limit of currently available techniques. By exploring various types of microtube cavities, sensing based on optical, electrical, and magnetic interactions are expected, exhibiting an extremely broad scope of sensing targets including liquids, biomolecules, micrometer- sized/nanosized objects, and gases. Our work takes an important step forward to compact and integrable label-free sensors in a lab-on-a-chip analytical system.
