About this book

This book describes the state of the art in the field of bioanalytical nano- and microsystems with optical functionality. In 12 chapters distinguished scientists and leaders in their respective fields show how various optical technologies have been miniaturized and integrated over the last few decades in order to be combined with nano- and microsystems for applications in the life sciences. The main detection and characterization technologies are introduced, and examples of the superiority of these integrated approaches compared to traditional ones are provided. Examples from e.g. the fields of optical waveguides, integrated interferometers, surface plasmon resonance or Raman spectroscopy are introduced and discussed, and it is shown how these approaches have led to novel functionalities and thereby novel applications.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book, from Springer’s Chemical Sensors and Biosensors series, focuses on recent findings regarding the use of optics and photonics in bioanalytical applications. … This book is the one to choose if one is seeking a good overview of recent developments in the broad field of optical nano- and microsystems and their application in the life sciences. … all of the discussions provide valuable insight into current and emerging applications of such systems.” (Timo Mappes, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 405 (17), 2013)
