โœฆ Synopsis

We demonstrated the feasibility of using integrated optical output grating couplers in direct immunosensing. We monitored as functions of time, first the adsorption of an antigen (Ag) on the waveguide's surface, and subsequently, the binding of the corresponding antibody (Ab), i.e. the formation of the immuno-complex Ag-Ab. The Ag was human immunoglobulin G (h-IgG), and the Ab was rabbit anti-h-IgG. We also studied the adsorption of avidin. The refractive indices nF', thicknesses dF', and surface coverages gamma of the adsorbed adlayers and of the immuno-complex Ag-Ab, respectively, were determined.

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

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
