Abstract
En 中文
Lasing-based sensors have several advantages over fluorescent devices, specifically related to the high light intensity and narrow mode linewidth that can improve the speed and accuracy of the sensor performance. In this work, a microcapillary-based lasing sensor is demonstrated, in which the lasing wavelengths are sensitive to the surface binding of specific materials. In order to achieve this, we utilized lasing into the star and triangle modes of a conventional microcapillary and tracked the mode positions after the deposition of a polyelectrolyte tri-layer and the subsequent amide binding of carboxy-functionalized polystyrene microspheres. While the lasing mode spectrum becomes increasingly complicated by the addition of the surface layers, careful mode selection can be used to monitor the layer-by-layer surface binding in a mechanically and optically robust device. For polystyrene microspheres, the detection limits were 9.75 nM based upon the lasing mode shift, which compares favorably with fluorescence-based devices. The methods presented in this work could readily be extended to other surface binding schemes and lasing wavelengths, showing that capillary microlasers could be used for many potential applications that capitalize on stable lasing-based detection methods.
