Advances in plasmonic technologies for point of care applications
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Infectious diseases have considerable economic and societal impact on developing settings. For instance, malaria is observed more commonly in sub-Saharan Africa and India. The societal impact of acquired immune deficiency ... -
Asymmetric light propagation in chirped photonic crystal waveguides
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2012)We report numerical and experimental investigations of asymmetric light propagation in a newly designed photonic structure that is formed by creating a chirped photonic crystal (PC) waveguide. The use of a non-symmetric ... -
Compact wavelength de-multiplexer design using slow light regime of photonic crystal waveguides
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2011)We demonstrate the operation of a compact wavelength demultiplexer using cascaded single-mode photonic crystal waveguides utilizing the slow light regime. By altering the dielectric filling factors of each waveguide segment, ... -
Dynamic tuning of plasmon resonance in the visible using graphene
(The Optical Society, 2016)We report active electrical tuning of plasmon resonance of silver nanoprisms (Ag NPs) in the visible spectrum. Ag NPs are placed in close proximity to graphene which leads to additional tunable loss for the plasmon resonance. ... -
Identification of novel neutralizing single-chain antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2
(2011)Human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR-2/kinase domain receptor [KDR]) play a crucial role in angiogenesis, which makes the VEGFR-2 signaling pathway a major target for therapeutic applications. ... -
Plasmonic band gap structures for surface-enhanced Raman scattering
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2008)Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) of rhodamine 6G (R6G) adsorbed on biharmonic metallic grating structures was studied. Biharmonic metallic gratings include two different grating components, one acting as a coupler ... -
