Abstract
Recently we demonstrated a biosensor based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity for detection of proteins. We present a theoretical and experimental study of a modified structure for single particle detection. With an active sensing volume of approximately 0.15 microm(3), the device is capable of detecting approximately 1 fg of matter. Its performance is tested with latex spheres with sizes that fall in the size range of a variety of viruses.Mesh:
