Abstract:
The present invention provides an integrated optical device (2300), comprising:a) a first component (2302) comprising a waveguide (2312) disposed upon or within a substrate and a plurality of nanometer-scale apertures (2308) comprising analyte regions (2310), wherein the analyte regions (2310) are disposed sufficiently proximal to a core of the waveguide (2312) to be illuminated by an evanescent field emanating from the core when optical energy is passed through the waveguide;b) a second component (2304) comprising a microlens array that collects optical energy signals from the analyte regions (2310) and directs the optical energy signals so collected to a detector (2320); andc) a third component (2306) comprising the detector (2320).
