Abstract
Interferometry offers a precise means of interrogating resonances in dielectric and plasmonic metasurfaces, surpassing spectrometer-imposed resolution limits. However, interferometry implementations often face complexity or instability issues due to heightened sensitivity. Here, we address the necessity for noise compensation and tolerance by harnessing the inherent capabilities of photonic resonances. Our proposed solution, termed "resonant phase noise matching," employs optical referencing to align the phases of equally sensitive, orthogonal components of the same mode. This effectively mitigates drift and noise, facilitating the detection of subtle phase changes induced by a target analyte through spatially selective surface functionalization. Validation of this strategy using Fano resonances in a 2D photonic crystal slab showcases noteworthy phase stability (σ < 10 - 4 π ). With demonstrated label-free detection of low-molecular-weight proteins at clinically relevant concentrations, resonant phase noise matching presents itself as a potentially valuable strategy for advancing scalable, high-performance sensing technology beyond traditional laboratory settings.

BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:43. [PMID: 38248420 PMCID: PMC10813746 DOI: 10.3390/bios14010043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Photonic crystals (PCs) are promising tools for label-free sensing in drug discovery screening, diagnostics, and analysis of ligand-receptor interactions. Imaging of PC surface modes has emerged as a novel approach to the detection of multiple binding events at the sensor surface. PC surface modification and decoration with recognition units yield an interface providing the highly sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers, antibodies, and oligonucleotides. The RAD51 protein plays a central role in DNA repair via the homologous recombination pathway. This recombinase is essential for the genome stability and its overexpression is often correlated with aggressive cancer. RAD51 is therefore a potential target in the therapeutic strategy for cancer. Here, we report the designing of a PC-based array sensor for real-time monitoring of oligonucleotide-RAD51 recruitment by means of surface mode imaging and validation of the concept of this approach. Our data demonstrate that the designed biosensor ensures the highly sensitive multiplexed analysis of association-dissociation events and detection of the biomarker of DNA damage using a microfluidic PC array. The obtained results highlight the potential of the developed technique for testing the functionality of candidate drugs, discovering new molecular targets and drug entities. This paves the way to further adaption and bioanalytical use of the biosensor for high-content screening to identify new DNA repair inhibitor drugs targeting the RAD51 nucleoprotein filament or to discover new molecular targets.

Abstract
Functional assay platforms could identify the biophysical properties of cells and their therapeutic response to drug treatments. Despite their strong ability to assess cellular pathways, functional assays require large tissue samples, long-term cell culture, and bulk measurements. Even though such a drawback is still valid, these limitations did not hinder the interest in these platforms for their capacity to reveal drug susceptibility. Some of the limitations could be overcome with single-cell functional assays by identifying subpopulations using small sample volumes. Along this direction, in this article, we developed a high-throughput plasmonic functional assay platform to identify the growth profile of cells and their therapeutic profile under therapies using mass and growth rate statistics of individual cells. Our technology could determine populations' growth profiles using the growth rate data of multiple single cells of the same population. Evaluating spectral variations based on the plasmonic diffraction field intensity images in real time, we could simultaneously monitor the mass change for the cells within the field of view of a camera with the capacity of > ∼500 cells/h scanning rate. Our technology could determine the therapeutic profile of cells under cancer drugs within few hours, while the classical techniques require days to show reduction in viability due to antitumor effects. The platform could reveal the heterogeneity within the therapeutic profile of populations and determine subpopulations showing resistance to drug therapies. As a proof-of-principle demonstration, we studied the growth profile of MCF-7 cells and their therapeutic behavior to standard-of-care drugs that have antitumor effects as shown in the literature, including difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), paclitaxel (PTX), and doxorubicin (Dox). We successfully demonstrated the resistant behavior of an MCF-7 variant that could survive in the presence of DFMO. More importantly, we could precisely identify synergic and antagonistic effects of drug combinations based on the order of use in cancer therapy. Rapidly assessing the therapeutic profile of cancer cells, our plasmonic functional assay platform could be used to reveal personalized drug therapies for cancer patients.

Abstract
Optical bound states in the continuum (BIC) are found in various dielectric, plasmonic and hybrid photonic systems. The localized BIC modes and quasi-BIC resonances can result in a large near-field enhancement and a high-quality factor with low optical loss. They represent a very promising class of ultrasensitive nanophotonic sensors. Usually, such quasi-BIC resonances can be carefully designed and realized in the photonic crystal that is precisely sculptured by electron beam lithography or interference lithography. Here, we report quasi-BIC resonances in large-area silicon photonic crystal slabs formed by soft nanoimprinting lithography and reactive ion etching. Such quasi-BIC resonances are extremely tolerant to fabrication imperfections while the optical characterization can be performed over macroscopic area by simple transmission measurements. By introducing lateral and vertical dimension changes during the etching process, the quasi-BIC resonance can be tuned over a wide range with the highest experimental quality factor of 136. We observe an ultra-high sensitivity of 1703 nm per RIU and a figure-of-merit of 65.5 for refractive index sensing. A good spectral shift is observed for detecting glucose solution concentration changes and adsorption of monolayer silane molecules. Our approach involves low-cost fabrication and easy characterization process for large-area quasi-BIC devices, which might enable future realistic optical sensing applications.

Abstract
Herein, we proposed a simple non-lithographic way to fabricate hierarchical Al nanopit arrays performed as deep ultraviolet (DUV, 200-300 nm) refractive index sensing. Only by adjusting the Al deposition thickness on the Al nanopit array, the hierarchical Al nanopit arrays with tunable plasmonic properties in the DUV region were obtained. The prepared hierarchical Al nanopit arrays are of very good time stability and its RI sensitivity and concentration detection limit of adenine ethanol solution reach 311 nm/RIU and5×10-6M,respectively, as the Al deposition thickness is 60 nm. Furthermore, the electric field distribution simulation results show that high RI sensing characteristic are mainly attributed to the local surface plasmon resonance. This investigation provides a facile way to develop low cost, high efficient and easily fabricated Al-based RI sensor in the DUV region.

Abstract
In this paper, an optical refractive index (RI) sensor based on a hybrid plasmonic-photonic crystal (P-PhC) is designed. In the sensor's structure, some metallic rods are embedded in a rod-type photonic crystal (PhC) structure. Numerical simulations are performed based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The obtained results illustrate that the localized surface plasmons (LSP) induced by metallic rods can be excited in a PhC lattice to generate a hybrid P-PhC mode. According to the results, the hybrid mode provides unique opportunities. Using metallic rods in the coupling regions between waveguides and the resonant cavity significantly increases the interaction of the optical field and analyte inside the cavity. The simulation results reveal that high sensitivity of 1672 nm/RIU and an excellent figure of merit (FoM) of 2388 RIU-1 are obtained for the proposed hybrid P-PhC sensor. These values are highest compared to the purely plasmonic and or purely PhC sensors reported in the literature. The proposed sensor could simultaneously enhance sensitivity and FoM values. Therefore, the proposed hybrid P-PhC RI sensor is a more fascinating candidate for high-sensitivity and high-resolution sensing applications at optic communication wavelengths.

Design and Analysis of Highly Sensitive LSPR-Based Metal–Insulator–Metal Nano-Discs as a Biosensor for Fast Detection of SARS-CoV-2. PHOTONICS 2022.

Abstract
For over 2 years, the coronavirus has been the most urgent challenge to humanity, and the development of rapid and accurate detection methods is crucial to control these viruses. Here, a 3D FDTD simulation of Au/SiO2/Au metal–insulator–metal (MIM) nanostructures as a biosensor was performed. The strong coupling between the two plasmonic interfaces in the Au/SiO2/Au cavity helped us to obtain relatively higher sensitivity. The attachment of SARS-CoV-2 changed the refractive index, which was used to detect SARS-CoV-2. Due to the higher overlapping of plasmonic mode with the environment of nano-discs, a higher sensitivity of 312.8 nm/RIU was obtained. The peak wavelength of the proposed structure shifted by approximately 47 nm when the surrounding medium refractive index changed from 1.35 (no binding) to 1.5 (full binding). Consequently, the SPR peak intensity variation can be used as another sensing mechanism to detect SARS-CoV-2. Finally, the previously reported refractive index changes for various concentrations of the SARS-CoV-2 S-glycoprotein solution were used to evaluate the performance of the designed biosensor.

Abstract
COVID-19 vaccination efficacy depends on serum levels of the neutralizing antibodies (NAs) specific to the receptor-binding domain of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein. Therefore, a high-throughput rapid assay capable of measuring the total SARS-CoV-2 NA level is urgently needed for COVID-19 serodiagnosis, convalescent plasma therapy, vaccine development, and assessment. Here, we developed a novel nanoplasmonic immunosorbent assay (NanoPISA) platform for one-step rapid quantification of SARS-CoV-2 NAs in clinical serum samples for high-throughput evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness. The NanoPISA platform enhanced by the use of nanoporous hollow gold nanoparticle coupling was able to detect SARS-CoV-2 NAs with a limit of detection of 0.2 pM within 15 min without washing steps. The one-step NanoPISA for SARS-CoV-2 NA detection in clinical specimens yielded good results, comparable with those obtained in the gold-standard seroneutralization test and the surrogate virus-neutralizing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Collectively, the one-step NanoPISA might be a rapid and high-throughput NA-quantification platform for evaluating the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

Abstract
Nanoplasmonic biosensing shows an immense potential to satisfy the needs of the global health industry - low-cost, fast, and portable automated systems; highly sensitive and real-time detection; multiplexing and miniaturization. In this review, we presented the theory of nanoplasmonic biosensing for popular detection schemes - SPR, LSPR, and EOT - and underline the consideration for nanostructure design, material selection, and their effects on refractometric sensing performance. Later, we covered the bottom-up and top-down nanofabrication methods for nanoplasmonic biosensors. Subsequently, we reviewed the recent examples of nanoplasmonic biosensors over a wide range of clinically relevant analytes in the diagnosis and prognosis of a wide range of diseases and conditions such as biomarker proteins, infectious bacteria, viral agents. Finally, we discussed the challenges of nanoplasmonic biosensing toward clinical translation and proposed strategic avenues to be competitive against current clinical detection methods. Hopefully, nanoplasmonic biosensing can realize its potential through successful demonstrations of clinical translation in the upcoming years.

Abstract
After World Health Organization (WHO) announced COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, we all again realized the importance of developing rapid diagnostic kits. In this article, we introduced a lightweight and field-portable biosensor employing a plasmonic chip based on nanohole arrays integrated to a lensfree-imaging framework for label-free detection of viruses in field-settings. The platform utilizes a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) camera with high quantum efficiency in the spectral window of interest to monitor diffraction field patterns of nanohole arrays under the uniform illumination of an LED (light-emitting diode) source which is spectrally tuned to the plasmonic mode supported by the nanohole arrays. As an example for the applicability of our biosensor for virus detection, we could successfully demonstrate the label-free detection of H1N1 viruses, e.g., swine flu, with medically relevant concentrations. We also developed a low-cost and easy-to-use sample preparation kit to prepare the surface of the plasmonic chip for analyte binding, e.g., virus-antibody binding. In order to reveal a complete biosensor technology, we also developed a user friendly Python™ - based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows direct access to biosensor hardware, taking and processing diffraction field images, and provides virus information to the end-user. Employing highly sensitive nanohole arrays and lensfree-imaging framework, our platform could yield an LOD as low as 103 TCID50/mL. Providing accurate and rapid sensing information in a handheld platform, weighing only 70 g and 12 cm tall, without the need for bulky and expensive instrumentation, our biosensor could be a very strong candidate for diagnostic applications in resource-poor settings. As our detection scheme is based on the use of antibodies, it could quickly adapt to the detection of different viral diseases, e.g., COVID-19 or influenza, by simply coating the plasmonic chip surface with an antibody possessing affinity to the virus type of interest. Possessing this ability, our biosensor could be swiftly deployed to the field in need for rapid diagnosis, which may be an important asset to prevent the spread of diseases before turning into a pandemic by isolating patients from the population.

Abstract
Accessing cell growth on adhesive substrates is critical for identifying biophysical properties of cells and their therapeutic response to drug therapies. However, optical techniques have low sensitivity, and their reliability varies with cell type, whereas microfluidic technologies rely on cell suspension. In this paper, we introduced a plasmonic functional assay platform that can precisely measure cell weight and the dynamic change in real-time for adherent cells. Possessing this ability, our platform can determine growth rates of individual cells within only 10 min to map the growth profile of populations in short time intervals. The platform could successfully determine heterogeneity within the growth profile of populations and assess subpopulations exhibiting distinct growth profiles. As a proof of principle, we investigated the growth profile of MCF-7 cells and the effect of two intracellular metabolisms critical for their proliferation. We first investigated the negative effect of serum starvation on cell growth. We then studied ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, a key enzyme which is involved in proliferation, and degraded under low osmolarity that inhibits cell growth. We successfully determined the significant distinction between growth profiles of MCF-7 cells and their ODC-overproducing variants that possess strong resistance to the negative effects of low osmolarity. We also demonstrated that an exogenous parameter, putrescine, could rescue cells from ODC inhibition under hypoosmotic conditions. In addition to the ability of accessing intracellular activities through ex vivo measurements, our platform could also determine therapeutic behaviors of cancer cells in response to drug treatments. Here, we investigated difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), which has antitumor effects on MCF-7 cells by inhibiting ODC activity. We successfully demonstrated the susceptibility of MCF-7 cells to such drug treatment, while its DFMO-resistant subpopulation could survive in the presence of this antigrowth agent. By rapidly determining cell growth kinetics in small samples, our plasmonic platform may be of broad use to basic research and clinical applications.

Abstract
Optical biosensors have exhibited worthwhile performance in detecting biological systems and promoting significant advances in clinical diagnostics, drug discovery, food process control, and environmental monitoring. Without complexity in their pretreatment and probable influence on the nature of target molecules, these biosensors have additional advantages such as high sensitivity, robustness, reliability, and potential to be integrated on a single chip. In this review, the state of the art optical biosensor technologies, including those based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR), optical waveguides, optical resonators, photonic crystals, and optical fibers, are presented. The principles for each type of biosensor are concisely introduced and particular emphasis has been placed on recent achievements. The strengths and weaknesses of each type of biosensor have been outlined as well. Concluding remarks regarding the perspectives of future developments are discussed.

Abstract
Photonic crystal (PC)-based inverse opal (IO) arrays are one of the substrates for label-free sensing mechanism. IO-based materials with their advanced and ordered three-dimensional microporous structures have recently found attractive optical sensor and biological applications in the detection of biomolecules like proteins, DNA, viruses, etc. The unique optical and structural properties of IO materials can simplify the improvements in non-destructive optical study capabilities for point of care testing (POCT) used within a wide variety of biosensor research. In this review, which is an interdisciplinary investigation among nanotechnology, biology, chemistry and medical sciences, the recent fabrication methodologies and the main challenges regarding the application of (inverse opals) IOs in terms of their bio-sensing capability are summarized. The recent main challenges regarding the application of inverse opals (IOs) in the detection of biomolecules are reviewed. Sensing mechanisms of biomolecules including glucose, proteins, DNA, viruses were summarized. IO materials with their ordered 3D microporous structures have found attractive optical biosensor applications.

Abstract
Color plays an important role in human life: without it life would be dull and monochromatic. Printing color with distinct characteristics, like hue, brightness and saturation, and high resolution, are the main characteristic of image sensing devices. A flexible design of color filter is also desired for angle insensitivity and independence of direction of polarization of incident light. Furthermore, it is important that the designed filter be compatible with the image sensing devices in terms of technology and size. Therefore, color filter requires special care in its design, operation and integration. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of nanostructured color filter designs described to date and evaluate them in terms of their performance.
