    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Biotechnology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Traditional biosensing often requires precise calibration and fixed sensor positions.
    • Surface-based methods can limit analyte-sensor interaction.
    • Whispering gallery modes (WGMs) offer high sensitivity but often need specific coupling techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a calibration-free biodetection method using freely moving microspheres.
    • To enable remote sensing of analytes without reference measures.
    • To enhance analyte-microsphere interaction for improved biodetection.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized fluorophore-doped polystyrene microspheres as sensing resonators.
    • Employed whispering gallery modes (WGMs) for detection.
    • Developed algorithmic analysis to determine solution refractive index from unknown microsphere radii.
    • Tested with alcohol-water solutions and bacterial spore suspensions.
    • Explored quantum dot coatings for extended fluorescence range.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved 3 x 10(-4) precision on refractive index measurements for alcohol-water solutions.
    • Demonstrated clear evidence of biodetection of bacterial spores via WGM analysis of microsphere populations.
    • Successfully enabled remote sensing without evanescent light coupling.
    • Presented preliminary results on quantum dot-coated microspheres for broader spectral detection.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed calibration-free WGM microsphere approach is effective for biodetection.
    • Freely moving microspheres enhance analyte interaction and simplify sensing protocols.
    • The method shows promise for sensitive and remote detection of biological targets.
