Abstract
Beyond the optical and analytical performance of the sensor itself, the development of an optical detection tool in response to a pressing research or diagnostic need requires consideration of a host of additional factors. This talk will provide an overview of two photonic sensor systems developed for profiling the human immune response to COVID-19 infection and/or vaccination. One, focused on the design goal of high multiplexing (many targets per sensor), was built on the Arrayed Imaging Reflectometry (AIR) platform. AIR is a free-space optics technique that relies on the creation and target molecule binding-induced disruption of an antireflective coating on the surface of a silicon chip. The second method, focused on low cost and high speed, uses a small (1 x 4 mm) ring resonator photonic chip embedded in a plastic card able to provide passive transport of human samples. This “disposable photonics” platform is able to detect and quantify anti-COVID antibodies in a human sample in a minute, making it attractive for high-throughput testing applications.
