Abstract

A micro-LED-coupled multimode slab waveguide is reported for fluorescence sensing. The device consists of a 1-dimensional micro-LED array coupled to a sub-mm polymeric slab for evanescent excitation of fluorescent analytes present on the surface. Proof-principle detection of semiconductor nanocrystals down to 0.2 pM/cm2 is demonstrated.
