Optical whispering-gallery mode (WGM) microresonators, confining resonant photons in a
microscale volume for long periods of time, strongly enhance light-matter interactions …

Optical microcavities that confine light in high-Q resonance promise all of the capabilities
required for a successful next-generation microsystem biodetection technology. Label-free …

This article reviews the recent progress in optical biosensors that use the label-free
detection protocol, in which biomolecules are unlabeled or unmodified, and are detected in …

Optical fibre nanowires and microwires offer a variety of enabling properties, including large
evanescent fields, flexibility, configurability, high confinement, robustness and compactness …

With diameter close to or below the wavelength of guided light and high index contrast
between the fiber core and the surrounding, an optical microfiber shows a variety of …

Microwires and nanowires have been manufactured by using a wide range of bottom-up
techniques such as chemical or physical vapor deposition and top-down processes such as …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an enhanced evanescent field fiber
refractometer based on a tapered multimode fiber sandwiched between two single-mode …

Micro-/nanofibers (MNFs) are optical fibers with diameters close to or below the wavelength
