Detection of protein aggregation with a Bloch surface wave based sensor

Hans Peter Herzig, Vincent Paeder, Lubos Hvozdara, Valeria Musi, Sylvain Herminjard

We present the innovative application of a Bloch surface wave based sensor to the detection of protein aggregation. In Hen Egg White Lysozyme (HEWL) solutions, aggregates are discriminated from the monomeric forms in a label-free detection scheme. ...

Mid-infrared surface plasmon resonance sensing applied to refractive index measurements of liquids

Sylvain Herminjard

There has been a very strong development of the sensors based on surface plasmon resonance during the last thirty years, mostly for biological and biomedical applications. If the first experiments in this field were carried out at the beginning of the 20t ...

Surface plasmon resonance sensor showing enhanced sensitivity for CO2 detection in the mid-infrared range

Hans Peter Herzig, Andrea Crottini, Jérôme Faist, Sylvain Herminjard, Lorenzo Sirigu

We present the first optical sensor based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) operating in the mid-infrared range. The experimental setup is based on a Kretschmann geometry with Ti/Au layers deposited on a CaF2 prism where light excitation is provided by a ...

Submicrometer optical tomography by multiple-wavelength digital holographic microscopy

Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Frédéric Montfort, Pierre Marquet, Florian Charrière, Jonas Kühn, Sylvain Herminjard

We present a method for submicrometer tomographic imaging using multiple wavelengths in digital holographic microscopy. This method is based on the recording, at different wavelengths equally separated in the k domain, in off- axis geometry, of the interfe ...
