Using an input grating coupler instrument and monomode optical waveguides, we studied the adsorption of various proteins (e.g. human immunoglobulins G and A (h-IgG and h-IgA), and avidin) on the waveguide surface. In model experiments for immunoassays, we also monitored as a function of time the for
We have demonstrated that output grating couplers on thin Si02-TiOz waveguides are sensors which respond (i) with sub-monomolecular sensitivity to the adsorption of molecules out of a gaseous or liquid sample covering the waveguide in the grating region, and (ii) to changes in the refractive index o
