Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Biotechnology
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Fiber-optic communication utilizes wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) for data transmission.
  • Single biomolecule detection is crucial for diagnostics and personalized medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt WDM principles for multiplexed single influenza virus detection on a chip.
  • To enable differentiated identification of influenza virus subtypes using an optofluidic platform.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a single multimode interference (MMI) waveguide to generate wavelength-dependent spot patterns.
  • Enabled multiplexed single biomolecule detection on an optofluidic chip.
  • Demonstrated detection of fluorescently labeled influenza A virus particles using single-color and combinatorial labeling.

Main Results:

  • Achieved wavelength-dependent spatial separation of excitation wavelengths within the MMI waveguide.
  • Successfully detected individual virus particles of three influenza A subtypes.
  • Showcased the potential for combinatorial labeling for enhanced multiplexing.

Conclusions:

  • MMI-based WDM offers a novel approach for multiplexed single virus detection.
  • This technology can be extended for complex clinical diagnostics and personalized medicine.
  • The method bypasses the need for spectral demultiplexing, simplifying detection.
