Optical Nanowire Sensing<br />

Potential of Nanowire Technology for Optical Chemo- and Biosensing<br />

1. Sensitivity Enhancement of extrinsic<br />

Optical Fiber Sensors<br />

• Increasing sensitive surface applying<br />

disordered nanowires (dense grown<br />

„matted“ structures)<br />

• Resonant effects applying oriented<br />

periodic nanowire structures on fiber<br />

end-face (e.g. photonic crystals)<br />

2. Realization of Fiber Nano-sensors with tip<br />

diameters 10...100 nm<br />

• Sensibilized single nanowire as optical<br />

waveguide (evanescent field sensing)<br />

• Optical coupling to conventional fibers<br />

Si nanowires<br />
