Ultra compact, high sensitivity label-free biosensor using VCSEL

We report a new label-free biosensor system for protein interaction characterization. The system consists of a VCSEL, a plastic guided mode resonant filter, and a pin detector. The sensor has high sensitivity and ultra compactness, consumes low power, and can be fabricated in 2D arrays.
