Microfluidic integration of porous photonic crystal nanolasers for chemical sensing

Abstract

We have recently developed planar photonic crystal nanolasers based on porous cavity designs. High-quality factor cavities confine light within the pores of the photonic crystal and, thus, our lasers are ideally suited for the investigation of nanoscale interactions between light and matter.We have demonstrated the operation of photonic crystal lasers within different chemical solutions, embedded them into silicone microfluidic flow channels, and were able to detect refractive index changes as small as delta n = 0.005. We predict that our porous nanolasers can detect refractive index changes as small as delta n = 8.23 x 10(-4).
