  • Porous photonic crystal with light scattering domains and methods of synthesis and use thereof
    Patent number: 7903239
    Abstract: The invention includes sensors and sensing methods for determining cell morphology and/or chemical composition of an analyte. A porous substrate exhibiting a first optical signal is exposed to a target analyte and subsequently monitored for changes in the optical signal. More specifically, a photonic or porous substrate having a well-defined and highly tunable reflectivity or transmission spectrum, such as porous silicon (Si), porous alumina, porous Ge, porous GaAs, porous SiO2 and porous polymer, is used for example. A porous or photonic substrate is exposed to an analyte, such as a cell or other macromolecule, and changes in the scattered light are observed over time to determine cell morphology and/or chemical composition of the analyte using the substrate.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 8, 2011
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Michael J. Sailor, Michael P. Schwartz, Sara Alvarez, Sangeeta Bhatia, Austin Derfus, Benjamin Migliori, Lin Chao, Yang Yang Li, Rebecca Campbell, Jason Dorvee, Ulla Camilla Rang
