title: Spectrometer-free biological detection method using porous silicon microcavity devices.
abstract: This paper proposes a label-free and spectrometer-free method for biological detection with high detecting resolution. Taking advantage of the optical properties of porous silicon microcavity, the refractive index changes caused by biological reaction can be detected by measuring the incident angle of the minimum reflected light intensity. Based on the above method, label-free eight-base pair DNA detection can be realized with a corresponding detection limit is as low as 87 nM. This method provides high detecting resolution at a low equipment cost, and can be further used to develop an advanced instrument for biological detection.
