title: Toward On-Chip Mid-Infrared Sensors.
abstract: This Feature highlights recent advances on mid-infrared thin-film waveguide technology and on-chip photonics facilitating next-generation label-free chem/bio sensor and assay platforms. Complemented by more recent advancements toward on-chip semiconductor waveguides, it is anticipated that label-free integrated mid-infrared sensing schemes will readily complement existing chem/bio sensor technologies in applications ranging from process monitoring and environmental analysis to biomedical diagnostics and point-of-care devices.
