| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To detect molecules secreted from animal cells, an optical directional coupler (DC) was used to realize a micro biosensing system. First, the DC was fabricated with polymer waveguides and the function was confirmed. Then, a silicon nitride DC was fabricated. Simulation was conducted to design these devices and the performance of the devices was characterized. The device was coupled with a microfluidic system and sensing of biomolecules was conducted there.
