Abstract: A germanium waveguide is formed from a P-type silicon substrate that is coated with a heavily-doped N-type germanium layer and a first N-type doped silicon layer. Trenches are etched into the silicon substrate to form a stack of a substrate strip, a germanium strip, and a first silicon strip. This structure is then coated with a silicon nitride layer.

Abstract: A component or device is provided for the detection or the measurement in parallel of one or more specific types of biological or chemical target products. This component includes a group of nanotubes selected and/or functionalized to interact with the target product, around an optical waveguide. Thus, an optical coupling is produced between the optical waveguide and one or more optical characteristics of these nanotubes, the modifications of which are evaluated in the presence of the target product. In addition, a method is provided for manufacturing and preparing such a component or device, and a detection method using them, as well as a post-manufacture preparation method comprising a specific functionalization for different target products starting from the same type of pluripotent generic component. Also provided is a family of PFO-based functionalization polymers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro method for diagnosing the infectious state of an individual on the basis of a sample of white corpuscles arising from a biological specimen taken from an organ potentially infected by a pathogenic microorganism of said individual, comprising at least the following two steps: i) measuring the mean cellular intensity of the autofluorescence of said sample, and ii) comparing the intensity measured in step i) with a control value, so as to determine the infectious state of said individual. The diagnostic method of the invention uses a routine optical material making it possible to work in wavelength regions which are compatible with the cellular autofluorescence, and thus constitutes a rapid, reliable and inexpensive aid for the diagnosis or monitoring of an infection in an individual.
