Synopsis

In my career I’ve found that ‘‘thinking outside the box’’ works better if I know what’s ‘‘inside the box.’’ Dave Grusin, composer and jazz musician Different people think in different time frames: scientists think in decades, engineers think in years, and investors think in quarters. Stan Williams, Director of Quantum Science Research, Hewlett Packard Laboratories Everything can be made smaller, never mind physics; Everything can be made more ef?cient, never mind thermodynamics; Everything will be more expensive, never mind common sense. Tomas Hirschfeld, pioneer of industrial spectroscopy Integrated Analytical Systems Series Editor: Dr. Radislav A. Potyrailo, GE Global Research, Niskayuna, NY The book series Integrated Analytical Systems offers the most recent advances in all key aspects of development and applications of modern instrumentation for che- cal and biological analysis. The key development aspects include (i) innovations in sample introduction through micro- and nano?uidic designs, (ii) new types and methods of fabrication of physical transducers and ion detectors, (iii) materials for sensors that became available due to the breakthroughs in biology, combinatorial materials science, and nanotechnology, and (iv) innovative data processing and mining methodologies that provide dramatically reduced rates of false alarms.

From the Back Cover

Part of Springer’s Integrated Analytical Systems series, Advanced Photonic Structures for Biological and Chemical Detection covers the latest research and development of various novel photonic structures and their respective advantages in biological and chemical sensing. The subjects include:

• Optical ring resonators
• Distributed feedback resonators
• Fiber gratings
• Fabry-Pérot interferometers
• Mach-Zehnder interferometers
• Michelson interferometer
• Young interferometers
• Spinning-disc interferometers
• Photonic crystals
• Micro/nanofibers and photonic wires
• Slot waveguides
• Folded waveguides
• Metal clad waveguides
• Reverse symmetry waveguides
• Liquid core antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides

This book will interest researchers working in the area of bio-chemical detection and analysis. It will also serve as an excellent reference for graduate students to help acquaint them with new research in photonic bio-chemical sensors.
