Biosensors using silicon photonics (SiP) technology have shown great promise, including the potential to bring the accurate, data-rich diagnostics of lab-grade assays to the point-of-need. In this presentation, we will discuss our work to address three key challenges of SiP biosensors. First, we are tuning the photonic design to meet important performance criteria. Next, we review techniques to functionalize SiP devices, and present our integration of microfluidics with the millimeter-scale sensor chips. Finally, we are using electronic-photonic integration to mitigate a key challenge for point-of-need SiP sensors: the cost and size of the readout system.
Commercial silicon photonic (SiP) biosensor architectures rely on expensive swept-tunable lasers that limit their use for widespread, point-of-care applications. An alternative is the use of fixed wavelength lasers integrated directly on a silicon photonic platform. This study investigates the design considerations of such architectures.
