Array metasurfaces for biomedical sensing at infra-red wavelengths

Detection and identification of biomedically significant molecules is an important application in infra-red (IR) spectroscopy. This presentation will consider some of the significant features of the different alternative building-block elements that can be used in array metasurfaces for enhanced detection sensitivity. The presentation will also address techniques and issues associated with the deposition and localisation of biological and organic chemical molecular material for detection and measurement using IR spectroscopy.
