  • Optogenetic tool for multiple and independently addressing of patterned optical windows
    Patent number: 10398293
    Abstract: A multi-point light-delivering device, comprising a waveguide carrying light along a longitudinal axis and including multiple optical windows, through which the carried light is out-coupled from the waveguide. The waveguide comprises a tapered region along which the optical windows are distributed, wherein each optical window out-couples a specific subset of propagating modes of the carried light, to which the optical window is matched.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 3, 2019
    Assignees: Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: Ferruccio Pisanello, Luigi Martiradonna, Leonardo Sileo, Ian Anton Oldenburg, Marco Pisanello, Bernardo Luis Sabatini, John Abraham Assad, Massimo De Vittorio

  • Method of identifying a target analyte using photonic crystal resonators, and related device
    Patent number: 8029994
    Abstract: A method of identifying target analytes in a sample, particularly a biological sample, comprising the steps of putting a plurality of target analytes, bound to a common luminescent marker, in contact with a plurality of molecular probes immobilized on a support, each of said molecular probes being capable of complementary binding to a respective target analyte, if said target analyte is present in the sample, providing to said support an excitation radiation and detecting an emission radiation coming from said support as a result of at least one complementary binding event, characterized by the fact that: said support comprises a plurality of photonic crystal resonators, at least two of said resonators being characterized by different resonance wavelengths; each of said molecular probes being fixed to a respective resonator; and by the fact that the identification of at least one target analyte is carried out through the analysis of the total emission spectrum coming from said plurality of photonic crystal
