On-chip plasmonic platform for rapid DNA sequencing
Coupling on-chip photonics to nanopores creates a plasmonic platform capable of information storage and biosensing.
Optical and electronic reading and writing of a biomolecule in a plasmonic sensing region – hundreds of such sensors can be created on a wafer.
Applications: Data storage, Biosensing, Nanoscale Sensors
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Coupling on-chip photonics to nanopores to create a write/erase scheme | Precise physiochemical reactions can be initiated, triggered and sensed |
| Capability for dielectrophoretic concentrating and trapping | Significantly enhancing sensing/storage volumes to concentrations that are clinically relevant |
| A completely novel data storage architecture, using polymers that are modified when exposed to photons | Permits writing without synthesis of molecules (such as DNA) requiring separate, rate limiting, processes. Also permits reading without current challenges of external noise |
