Fevrier, Mickaël. "Couplage entre un guide d’onde diélectrique et un guide à plasmon de surface localisé : conception, fabrication et caractérisation." Thesis, Paris 11, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA112040/document.
Full textThis PhD work presents a theoretical, numerical and experimental study of the integration of a gold nanoparticle chain supporting "localized surface plasmon resonances" on a dielectric waveguide. The localized surface plasmon allows a sub-wavelength confinement of light which could lead to the achievement of ultra-compact optical components. However, the high level of optical losses restricts their application to short propagating distances unlike dielectric waveguides. A judicious combination of both types of guides should therefore allow taking profit of their respective advantages. Firstly, we have theoretically studied the properties of nanoparticles chains using an analytical model that we have developed following the coupled dipoles approximation. This has helped us to determine the shape and size of nanoparticles, which have been further used in a FDTD software, to simulate the coupling between the chain and the dielectric waveguide (SOI or Si3N4). Using this numerical study, we have deduced the geometries of structures to be fabricated. The realized structures have been characterized using a spectrally resolved transmission set-up, built during this thesis, and an optical near field measurement set-up (collaboration LNIO Troyes). For the first time, we have experimentally shown the properties of short nanoparticle chains integrated on a SOI waveguide as well as the existence of a coupled waveguide phenomenon between long nanoparticle chains and SOI waveguides. A record value has been obtained for the coupling constant at telecom wavelengths (near infrared). The light energy carried by the TE mode of the SOI waveguide can be completely transferred into the plasmonic waveguide via the first 4 or 5 nanoparticles of the chain, which means a distance of less than 600 nm. We have also studied the properties of Bragg gratings based on localized surface plasmon. Experimental results from spectrally resolved transmission measurements have been compared to theoretical results obtained from an analytical model based on the point dipole approximation in quasi-static regime, on one hand, and using the coupled mode theory, on the other hand. This work opens the way for applications to optical tweezers, sensors or spasers, which will benefit from the integration of metal nanoparticles in photonic circuits

Full textThe discovery of photoluminescence of nanometric silicon paves the way to use silicon in optoelectronic devices. However this photoluminescence remains low and a lot of works aim at improving silicon optical properties. In this dissertation we study localized surface plasmons to improve optical properties of silicon nanocrystals. Thanks to the control of all geometrical parameters of silicon nanocrystals and metallic nanoparticles during the fabrication process, the coupling process between these two objects has been studied. The modification of silicon nanocrystals emission as a function of the distance, the size and the nature of metallic nanoparticles has been investigated. Thanks to the development of experimental optical characterization techniques we showed that silicon nanocrystals photoluminescence is modified both spectrally and spatially by localized surface plasmons. This work shows that it’s possible to enhance silicon’s optical properties and thus to devise optoelectronic devices with silicon and plasmons

Full textMetamaterials (MMs) are artificial components with electromagnetic properties that do not exist in conventional natural materials. Despite tremendous developments achieved since the 2000s in radiofrequency and also in optics, mainly in the radiative mode, the applications of MMs in guided optics, in order to miniaturize the conventional optoelectronic components still remain nearly blank. Following the studies on plasmonic MM in waveguided optics initiated by Mr. Kanté, Mrs. Ghasemi and Mrs. Dubrovina, this thesis work constitutes an original contribution to the design and realization of optoelectronic components based on MMs, including their simulation and characterization methods. During this thesis, 3 components have been proposed, of which 2 have been realized and characterized. These are literally the first demonstrations of MM applications to compact components in waveguided optics and it can be concluded that a new family of infrared components is proposed here. This approach is generic and compatible with conventional integrated circuit platforms: Si, InGaAsP / InP, doped silica, etc. Moreover, it is shown that the control of both the variation of the effective index of the guide associated with the MM, and the resonance frequency of the MM with which these components work, is accessible simply by modifying the dimensions of the nanowires. This will allow these components to operate at other frequencies

Full textSurface plasmons resonance imaging with continuous thin metallic films have become a central tool for the study of biomolecular interactions. However, in order to extend the field of applications of surface plasmons resonance systems to the trace detection of biomolecules having low molecular weight, a change in the plasmonic sensing methodology is needed. In this study, we investigate theoretically and experimentally the sensing potential of 2D nano- and micro- ribbon grating structuration on the surface of Kretschmann-based surface plasmon resonance biosensors when they are used for detection of biomolecular binding events. Numerical simulations were carried out by employing a fast and novel model based on the hybridization of two classical methods, the Fourier Modal Method and the Finite Element Method. Our calculations confirm the importance of light manipulation by means of structuration of the plasmonic thin film surfaces on the nano- and micro- scales. Not only does it highlight the geometric parameters that allow the sensitivity enhancement, and associated figures of merit, compared with the response of the conventional surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on a flat surface, but it also describes the transition from the regime where the propagating surface plasmon mode dominates to the regime where the localized surface plasmon mode dominates. An exhaustive mapping of the biosensing potential of the nano- and micro- structured biosensors surface is presented, varying the structural parameters related to the ribbon grating dimensions. New figures of merit are introduced to evaluate the performance of the structured biosensors. The structuration also leads to the creation of regions on biosensor chips that are characterized by strongly enhanced electromagnetic fields. New opportunities for further improving the bio-sensitivity are offered if localization of biomolecules can be carried out in these regions of high electromagnetic fields enhancement and confined

Full textLocalised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is defined as the collective oscillation of the conduction electron cloud induced by an external electric field. In the case of nanoparticles composed of noble metals such as gold, silver, or copper, the resonance is located in the visible or near UV range. The polarisability of a nanoparticle is directly proportional to four key parameters: its volume, its composition, its shape and its surrounding environment. It is these properties that make LSPR useful for sensor applications. In the case of isotropic particles, such as spheres, the LSPR spectrum shows only one absorption peak. In the case of an anisotropic particle, such as an ellipsoid, the absorption spectrum has two or more distinct peaks. If the absorption cross-section is measured with unpolarised light, multiple maxima are obtained. The key point for these type of systems is the possibility to decouple the resonances using polarised light. In this description the anisotropic system is considered microscopic, i.e. it is only made of one or two particles. In the case of a macroscopic sample, such as a colloidal solution of ellipsoids or nanorods, the absorption spectrum will always have multiple absorption maxima, and they cannot be decoupled because the sample is not globally anisotropic.On the other hand, if the sample has a global anisotropy such as aligned nanorods, or nanosphere organised in lines, it is possible to have a plasmon spectrum dependent on the light polarisation. Being able to decouple the resonances of an anisotropic sample makes it possible to measure a differential spectrum by taking the difference of the two absorption spectra. This is experimentally possible by using anisotropic transmission spectroscopy which measures the optical anisotropy. The advantage is to obtain a relative and differential spectrum more stable and reproducible. Moreover, it is now possible to follow the evolution of the optical response of the plasmonic particles no longer by measuring a spectral shift but by measuring the change in intensity of the signal at a fixed wavelength. This method is used on two case studies which are the measurement of the interaction of dihydrogen with gold nanoparticles, as well as the detection of low partial pressure of dihydrogen in a carrier gas (argon, and air) using palladium nanoparticles, for hydrogen sensing applications

Full textThe release of the rst report by Faraday in 1857 set the foundation of the production of metal nanoparticlesand their unexpected optical properties (coloring). More recently, controlling and guiding light via plasmonicresonance in nanostructures enable a lot of applications affecting everyday life that involves light. Plasmonresonance of metallic structures is a key phenomenon that allows unique optical properties through the interactionof light with the free electrons of the metal. The excitation of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance(LSPR) leads to turn-on large local enhancements of electromagnetic energy as within antennas or to routelight as waveguide to desired region with high transmission through the excitation of Propagating SurfacePlasmon (PSP). During this thesis, we have developed an existing algorithm in order to calculate the opticalresponse of NPs of any shape. We have especially determined the localized energy enhancement factor interm of optical response of nano-antenna. This anisotropic (polarization dependent) NPs type can feature, atplasmon resonance, scattering efciency factor higher than 25. Moreover, an important systematic study hasbeen performed in order to optimize design of such NPs.Concerning the PSP that are involved in the enhanced transmission through Annular Aperture Arrays (AAAs),we systematically study the properties of the excitation of the peculiar Transverse ElectroMagnetic (TEM) guidedmode inside such nano-apertures. A complete numerical study is performed to correctly design the structurebefore it is experimentally characterized. For reasons associated to fabrication constraints and efciency,a slanted AAA made in perfectly conducting metal is proposed and studied. We numerically and analyticallydemonstrate some intrinsic properties of the structure showing a transmission coefcient of at least 50%ofan un-polarized incident beam independently of the illumination configuration (polarization, angle, and planeof incidence). At the TEM peak transmission, the laminar flow of the energy through the structure can exhibitgiant deviation over very small distances ( ). The results presented in this thesis could be considered as animportant contribution to the understanding of the enhanced transmission phenomenon based on the excitationof guided modes

Full textWe study composite systems liquid crystals / polymers / nanoparticles. We use liquid crystal distortions to control the induced nanoparticle organization and also the polymerization of liquid crystal matrices that ensures the stability of the composites and allows to diversify the imaging and optical characterization techniques. First of all, we are interested in nematic and cholesteric liquid crystal films, with and without polymer, in the absence and in the presence of nanoparticles, the latter being chosen as spherical gold nanoparticles of diameter 6nm. Subsequently, we were interested in the polymerization of the so-called smectic oily streaks. The comparison between the different behaviors of the nanoparticles when isolated in solution or gathered and self-organized on a PVA substrate without liquid crystal (LC) or on a substrate with nematic or cholesteric LC, allowed us to understand how the nanoparticles and the matrix interact to reach the final structure of the composite system, characterized by new optical properties of the nanoparticles. We have established how a nematic matrix allows to preserve an almost perfect hexagonal order for gold nanoparticles deposited on the surface, while bringing them closer to each other (induced compression of the monolayer formed) to decrease disorder and distortion induced in the matrix, which significantly shifts the plasmon resonance of the gold nanoparticles. We have also demonstrated that the nanoparticles induce a change of orientation of the nematic molecules towards a tilted orientation, accompanied by a dewetting phenomenon of the matrix on top of the nanoparticles. The transition from a nematic matrix to a cholesteric matrix preserves the hexagonal order of the compressed monolayer for the nanoparticles but with an enhanced disorder, locally induced by the larger elastic distortion close to the air/interface and more specifically at the bottom of the undulations of the cholesteric matrix, which was evidenced by a simulation of a frustrated cholesteric between the two anchoring, planar on PVA and homeotrope with air. The cholesteric modulation structure acts as a mold so that the nanoparticles reproduce on the mesoscopic scale the cholesteric texture at the interface by forming ribbons that perfectly mimic the cholesteric modulations. We again evidence a phenomenon of dewetting, but smaller than for the nematic, in relation with the localization of the nanoparticles in the cholesteric tilted areas above the region of strong cholesteric splay distortion. Within the same cholesteric matrix, the increase of the concentration of nanoparticles causes a profound change in the optical properties of the nanoparticles. We show that it is related to the establishment of new structures for the nanoparticles, always induced by the modulated structure of cholesteric, which, in return is only slightly modified. As the concentration increases, one passes from a monolayer of highly disordered and compressed two-dimensional labyrinths up to 3D structures (aggregates) of controlled size and shape. The optical properties are modified in relation with a strong strengthening of the electromagnetic interaction between nanoparticles. The nanoparticles occupy the overall surface of the cholesteric modulations, which no longer play the role of mold, but are found to be truncated at the surface by the presence of nanoparticles. The fact that the modulated cholesterics is only poorly modified highlights the robustness of this cholesteric structure, but also the combined influence of the cholesteric elastic distortions and of the nanoparticle-induced anchoring on the nanoparticle organization and in return on the induced optical properties. Moreover, concerning the polymerization of smectic oily streaks, we have succeeded to preserve the smectic A texture in the nematic phase, in relation with the creation of a particularly robust polymer skeleton that mimics the initial smectic texture

Full textOn the one hand, the aim of this work is to understand and control the formation of periodic nanometric ripples produced by ion sputtering of dielectric thin films. On the other hand, these nanostructured surfaces are used to guide the growth and organization of silver nanoparticles. These anisotropic systems are characterized by a surface plasmon resonance whose spectral postion is dependent on the polarization of the incident light. We first study the influence of different ion beam sputtering parameters (the ions incidence angle and energy, temperature, energy, flux, fluence) on the ripple morphology (period, amplitude, order, ...) by AFM and GISAXS. The relevant parameters for the control of the ripple morphology are identified as well as some of the physical mechanisms involved. Then, we study the influence of the growth conditions on the structural properties of the nanoparticles (metal deposition angle, ripples pattern quality) by HAADF-STEM. We show that the preferential growth along the ripples is promoted by shadowing effects, thus leading to the formation of linear chains with period similar to the underlying ripples and with more or less elongated and aligned nanoparticles. This results in a far-field tunable optical anisotropy arising from polydisperse interparticle gaps (less than a few nanometers) as well as from more or less strong near-field coupling phenomena. These structures could offer potential for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications

Full textThe thesis work is devoted to spatially-, temporally- and spectrally- resolved laser and biological tissue interactions. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the influence of colloidal nanoparticles embedded into multilayered biological tissues on their optical properties in order to provide deeper and/or more precise probing. To do so, the integral spectroscopic parameters and lifetime of fluorophore in vicinity of metal nanoparticles were analyzed theoretically and experimentally. Another part of the study was to propose new algorithmic solutions for improving the performance of the estimation process of the optical properties values from spatially resolved spectroscopic measurements. The last part of the thesis was the experimental and theoretical modelling of fluorophore’s kinetics in presence of colloidal gold nanoparticles. The ultra-short pico-second component (around 100 ps) was resolved and correlated to strong nanoparticles dipole field which is compensating the molecule’s dipole

Full textComposite materials can exhibit properties that none of the individual components show. Moreover, composites at the nanoscale can present new properties compared to the bulk state or to macro-composites due to confinement and quantum size effects. The semiconductor/metal nanocomposites are highly interesting due to their unique catalytic and optoelectronic properties and the possibility to tune them easily. This PhD work gives insight into the specific interactions and resulting physical properties occurring in ZnO and ZnO-Au nanocomposite films grown by reactive DC magnetron sputtering. The results can be summarized in two points: First, it was possible to tune the microstructural and optical properties of ZnO. Epitaxial growth of ZnO onto sapphire was achieved for the first time in O2-rich conditions without thermal assistance. Also, a study of the optical properties highlights the close relationship between the bandgap energy (E_g ) and the defect chemistry in ZnO films. A model was proposed to explain the large scatter of the E_g values reported in the literature. Second, the deep influence of the incorporation of gold into the ZnO matrix on important material properties was revealed. Moreover, the presence of donor (acceptor) defects in the matrix is found to give rise to the reduction (oxidation) of the Au nanoparticles. This research work contributes to a better understanding of semiconductor/metal nanocomposites revealing the key role of the state of the semiconductor matrix

Full textAdvances in the development of rapid, accurate and highly sensitive methods for detecting target analytes in solution will provide crucial tools for research and applications in medicine and molecular biology. One of the currently most promising approaches is the development of nanosensors based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metal nano-objects (MNOs), which is an optical response that depends on their size, shape, composition and local environment. The ability to measure the modification of the reponse of a single MNO in the presence of a target analyte would allow each object to act as an independent probe with increased sensitivity as the signal would be isolated from the averaging effects of ensemble measurements. Furthermore it would allow the development of micrometric, functionalized multiprobe samples for multitarget label-free assays.In this work, a novel experimental setup based on the spatial modulation spectroscopy (SMS) technique has been developed to measure the optical response of individual nano-objects in a liquid environment. In parallel, a new technique has also been developed to elaborate stable probes for measurements with the new setup, with a focus on gold bipyramids due to numerous qualities that make them excellent candidates for biosensing probes. The setup has been used to measure the response of individual objects in environments of different real refractive indices and the detected changes have been shown to be in good agreement with theoretical calculations. Numerical studies have also been performed to investigate the influence on the optical response of numerous factors encountered in the studied systems

Full textThe aim of this work is to use nanostructured alumina surfaces to guide the growth and to optimize the organization of metallic particles (Ag, Au and AgxAu1-x), and to test those systems as reusable SERS-active substrates. We used spectrophotometry to characterize the resulting optical properties, spectroscopic ellipsometry for the determination of the optical index and transmission electron microscopy for the structural characterizations. Surfaced-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used for the detection of adsorbed bipyridine molecules on the sample surface, in collaboration with the Institut des Matériaux Jean Rouxel at Nantes. We first study systems consisting of monometallic and bimetallic nanoparticles in order to understand the growth modes of such particle assemblies. A particular attention is paid to the influence of the sequential deposition of Au and Ag on the structural and optical properties. We show that different arrangements of bimetallic nanoparticles are obtained according to the deposition sequence used and that an alloy is obtained after ex situ annealing under vacuum. The near-field and far-field optical properties of AgxAu1-x nanoparticle alloys embedded in an alumina matrix are compared numerically by the finite difference time domain method, with those of pure metal nanoparticles. Our results indicate that pure metal nanoparticles exhibit a greater field enhancement than alloy nanoparticles. Finally, SERS experiments conducted with a dichroic system made of coupled Ag nanoparticles show that an intense SERS signal can be obtained with coated nanoparticles

Full textGold nanorods are plasmonic nanoparticles with interesting optical properties. In particular, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), sensitive to the local environment of the particles, allows their use as transducers of molecular interaction phenomena. This property makes those nanostructures of interest for the design of LSPR biosensors. In this thesis, we propose to improve the overall efficiency of these biosensors by coating these nanoparticles with a thin silica shell. The synthesis conditions allowing the coating of gold nanorods by a homogeneous silica shell of controlled thickness and porosity have been re-examined and stable suspensions have been obtained while preserving the optical properties of the gold core. Different surface chemistries were studied for the immobilization of IgG bioreceptors and the formed nanoprobes allowed the detection in solution of a model target : a rabbit IgG, with a detection limit in the pM range. The possibility of using these core-shell nanostructures as doping agents for the in vitro detection of cellular biomarkers by infrared microscopy is then considered. Preliminary results regarding the characterization and functionalization of these particles by IgG bioreceptors and an infrared molecular probe are presented

Full textIn this work we present the results on the selective growth of Cu2O and metallic Cu by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on ZnO, Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and α-Al2O3 substrates. It was possible to tune the deposited material (Cu or Cu2O) by controlling the deposition temperature, and the substrate conductivity/density of donor defects. An area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) process was demonstrated on a patterned bi-layer structure composed of low-conductive ZnO, and highly-conductive AZO regions. Furthermore, the AS-ALD allows the fabrication of Cu2O/ZnO/AZO/Cu-back-electrode nanojunctions, as confirmed by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM). The mechanism behind the temperature and spatial selectivities is discussed. In a second part of this thesis, Cu nanoparticles (NP) were deposited by ALD on ZnO thin films. The Cu NP exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance, tunable from the visible to the near-infrared regions, as confirmed by spectroscopic ellipsometry. An enhanced visible photo-response was observed in the Cu NP/ZnO device thanks to the hot-electron generation at the surface of the plasmonic Cu NP and transfer into the conduction band of ZnO. Finally, semi-transparent Cu2O/ZnO heterojunctions were fabricated by ALD and reactive magnetron sputtering. The heterojunctions present a stable self-powered photo-response under 1 Sun illumination, fast response times and high transparency in the visible region, which is promising for all-oxide transparent electronics, photodetection and photovoltaics

Full textStaphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) produced by some Staphylococcus aureus strains is a major cause of food poising and especially represents the second cause of foodborne diseases in France. Plasmonic nanoparticles with unique optical properties are widely applied as transducers in biosensing devices owing to the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) phenomenon. The objective of this work was to develop biosensors based on plasmonic nanoparticles from which SEA detection could be achieved by naked-eye readout. Two strategies were implemented. The first strategy was based on the extremely high extinction coefficient of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Anti-SEA antibody (Ab)-conjugated AuNPs were used as reporters in a solid-phase, sandwich-type, colorimetric immunosensor. The sensor was successfully applied to the detection of SEA in buffer and spiked milk. As low as 1 ng SEA could be visualized by naked-eye readout. The second strategy relied on both the sensitivity of the LSPR band of plasmonic nanoparticles to small local refractive index change and the ability of humans to visualize color changes in the 500 nm region. For this purpose, core-shell gold silver nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) with LSPR band at 500 nm were successfully synthesized. Attachment of Ab to Au@AgNPs resulted in a red shift of LPSR band and a visual color change of colloidal solution from orange to red. Yet, the red shift of LSPR band was very important and no visible change of color was observed by naked-eye upon subsequent addition of SEA

Full textThe objectives of this work are the realization, characterization and optimization of nanostructured surfaces, e. G. Substrates for the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and the surface plasmon resonance. Several main contributions were performed. The first one is based on the grafting of silver and gold nanoparticles on functionalized supports. Our bottomup approach enabled us to highlight the optimal conditions to obtain a mono-layer of nanoparticles, with homogeneous distribution and an important density. The curves of extinction and factors of exaltation were quantified and modeled. Also, the manufacturing time was optimized. The second contribution, which is based on a top-down approach, consists of making nanostructures by electro erosion of a thin film of silver or gold, carried out by physical deposit in vapor phase. This procedure, which relies on the optimization of oxidation-reduction cycle (ORC), was employed to realize rough films and metal nanostructures. The presence of nanostructures and the nano cavities on the substrates were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomic force microscopy (AFM). The limit of detection by Raman spectrometry was evaluated at 1nM. The optimal conditions obtained from the curves of extinction and Raman scattering made it possible to converge towards a reliable and reproducible manufacturing protocol. The third contribution is the deposit of nanoparticles on optical fibers in order to evaluate the sensitivity of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)

Full textThe size reduction of metals, from bulk to nanoparticles, induces significant modifications of their properties. For instance, the optical properties evolve and a new resonance, the localized surface plasmon resonance, appears in the optical spectrum and is responsible for the change of colors of metallic nanoparticles. This work is focused on studies of metals’ properties at the nanometric scale. In the first part, the vibrational and thermal properties are studied with a femtosecond spectroscopy technique. It is shown that it is possible to excite and detect optically vibrational frequencies in the terahertz domain by studying platinum nanoparticles formed by less than 100 atoms. The study of the thermal properties of the metallic nanoparticles (gold and silver) has shown that the boundary effect increases. This thermal boundary resistance, known as the Kapitza resistance, plays a dominant role in the heat transfer at the nanometric scale. A correlation between the experimental values of the thermal boundary resistance and the acoustic impedances of the boundary’s materials has been found. We have also shown that the Kapitza resistance is a decreasing function of the temperature in the 70-300K range. In the second part, the effect of the size reduction on the optical properties of non-spherical nanoparticles is observed. The Spatial Modulation Spectroscopy technique is used in order to locate and study individual gold nanorods. It is shown that the two geometrical parameters (the length and the diameter) of the nanorods influence the spectral linewidth of the localized surface plasmon resonance. This effect is not predicted by existing classical or quantum models

Full textThis work is focused on the conception and the realisation of an integrated nano-tweezers based on the near field effect to trap nanoparticles smaller than 1 µm.The proposed device exploits the strong coupling between a SOI waveguide and a gold elliptic chain to excite the localized surface plasmon and to create a deep energy potential well to trap polystyrene beads.FDTD simulations are used to optimize the geometry of the structure and to extract the stiffness values and the potential energy. The efficiency and the trapping stability are evaluated with particles having size between 20 nm and 1 $upmu$m. This work shows that polystyrene beads with a radius between 50 and 250 nm are efficiently trapped thanks to single and double plasmonic chain with an injected power of 10 mW. The electric field is more localized when two gold elliptic nanocylinders on top of a SOI waveguide are considered. This structure can be used as a sensor to detect the shift of the optical index or the variation of the bead size. The tweezing of metallic beads having radius higher than 15 nm is also presented. It is also possible to control the position of the trap particle along a gold elliptic chain by varying the injected wavelength into the waveguide.Trapping device are fabricated in clean-room based on the simulations results of the geometry optimisation and are characterized on an optical bench. Optical measurements of transmission enable to determine the resonance wavelength of the plasmonic chain. Optical trapping experiment highlight the efficient tweezing of dielectric nanoparticles. With time resolved tracking method of the particle, position histograms can be plotted to extract potential energy and stiffness value. These experimentals results are not as good as the simulations results which can be explain by mechanic vibrations of the optical bench.This trapping device opens news applications in all integrated nanometric sensors with a small injected power

Full textIn this thesis work, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag) is carried out by a simple, efficient and fast method based on the reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) in an organic medium (ethanol) under heating by micro irradiation (MW) for a few seconds in the presence of an aqueous emulsion of latex copolymer. The experiments were performed either by varying the experimental parameters one after the other (classical approach) or by means of the experimental design methodology which serves to vary simultaneously these experimental conditions in order to both optimize and evaluate the impact of these factors on the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. The main goal is to prepare a maximum concentration of silver nanoparticles with a minimum concentration of latex copolymer and AgNO3. The prepared nanoparticles were found to be extremely stable in colloidal solution with very narrow size distributions, which confirms the high quality and the uniform diameter of the nanoparticles obtained by the microwave synthesis approach. This could possibly be due to the stabilizing effect produced by the latex molecules, which is a good environment for effectively controlling the growth of metallic silver nanoparticles. As the main objective of such realization of the silver nanoparticle synthesis by the MW method opens the way to the exploration of surface plasmonic effects in photocatalytic reactions using well-defined semiconducting structures (Bi2O3 , In2O3, TiO2 ...)

Full textMolecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), also referred to as plastic antibodies, are synthetic biomimetic receptors that are able to bind target molecules with similar affinity and specificity as natural receptors such as enzymes or antibodies. Indeed, MIPs are used as synthetic recognition elements in biosensors and biochips for the detection of small analytes and proteins. The molecular imprinting technique is based on the formation of specific recognition cavities in polymer matrices by a templating process at the molecular level. For sensor and biochip development, fast binding kinetics of the MIP for a rapid sensor response, the integration of the polymers with transducers, and a high sensitivity of detection are among the main challenges. In this thesis, the above issues are addressed by developing MIP/gold nanocomposites by grafting MIPs on surfaces, using dedicated techniques like atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) which is a versatile controlled radical polymerization (CRP) technique. Theses ophisticated CRP techniques, are able to greatly improve the polymeric materials. The use of ATRP in the MIP field has been limited so far due to its inherent incompatibility with acidic monomers like methacrylic acid (MAA), which is by far the most widely used functional monomer. Herein, a new method is described for the MIP synthesis through photo-initiated ATRP using fac-[Ir(ppy)3] as ATRP catalyst. The synthesis is possible at room temperature and is compatible with acidic monomers. This study considerably widens the range of functional monomers and thus molecular templates that can be used when MIPs are synthesized by ATRP. The proposed method was used for fabrication of hierarchically organised nanocomposites based on MIPs and nanostructured metal surfaces containing nanoholes or nanoislands, exhibiting plasmonic effects for signal amplification. The fabrication of nanometer scale MIP coatings localized on gold surface was demonstrated. Optical transduction methods, namely Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) were exploited and shown that they hold great promise for enhancing the limit of detection in sensing of biologically relevant analytes including proteins and the drug propranolol

Full textPrism-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) microscopy is an optical imaging technique invented in the late 60s'. Its main advantage lies in its high sensitivity to optical index or thickness variations at a metal surface. Therefore, the monitoring of biological reactions can be performed in real-time without labeling agent such as fluorescence or enzymes. Over the last 30 years, SPR microscopy has become the major technique in label-free biodetection. The field of application range from the determination of affinity constant in biochemistry to the detection of pathogenic bacteria via cellular biology. Until now, the propagation length of the surface plasmons has been considered as the spatial resolution limit. However, many examples do not support this statement. In this PhD thesis, we demonstrate that the resolution is also limited by optical aberrations induced by the prism used to couple light and surface plasmons. Thus, we are able to explain why the experimental resolution was usually worse than the predicted one. The analysis of the image formation and the quantification of aberrations lead us to suggest two new optical configurations optimized for resolution. We also analyze which metal exhibits the better trade-off between propagation length and sensitivity. Experimentally, we obtain a resolution between 1.5 and 4 μm depending on the direction, on field-of-view up to several mm2, and with a standard sensitivity for biodetection (monolayer of DNA). We are then able to observe simultaneously several thousands of individual eukaryote and prokaryote cells. Finally, we develop a prototype dedicated to the real-time monitoring of protein secretion by immune cells. The limits of SPR microscopy and the solutions which could allow this kind of study are discussed. Preliminary results on the improvement of bacterial detection are also presented

Full textIn terms of performance, the ideal biosensor should have high sensitivity, low limits of detection, and extremely short analysis time. Label-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors naturally offer the shortest analysis time compared to other types of biosensors. On the other hand, the limits of detection of SPR biosensors are not the most impressive. The inherent sensitivity of SPR biosensors thus needs to be significantly improved to allow lower limits of detection. Several approaches for the enhancement of optical sensitivity of SPR biosensors in the “traditional” attenuated total reflection (ATR) Kretschmann configuration such as the use of bimetallic SPR film, long-range surface plasmons, and near-infrared operating wavelength have been investigated in this work. In addition, some “non traditional” configurations for SPR biosensors including grating-coupled planar optical waveguides and arrays of sub-wavelength structures have been theoretically studied. Novel graphene-based surface functionalization strategy with enhanced biorecognition sensitivity that can be applied to virtually any SPR structure has also been demonstrated

Full textColloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have photo-physical properties that make them objects of choice for various applications, such as biological marking, photovoltaics or quantum optics. Their interaction with a photonic structure can modify their emission properties (lifetime, intensity, etc.). The near-field optical microscope is a privileged tool to probe these changes at the nanoscale.This thesis deals with the realization of an active near-field probe made from a CdSe / CdS core / shell nanocrystal grafted to the apex of a thinned optical fiber. This probe is used to map, in the 3 dimensions of the space and on the nanometric scale, the variations in the lifetime of the emitter. It makes it possible to account for variations in photonic modes on the surface.A part of this thesis concerns the realization of the active probe itself. Thanks to this probe the studies are then developed on a hole grating made in a thin film of gold. FDTD simulations were performed to determine relevant grating parameters and to analyze their near field response.The experimental results of the lifetimes at various points of different gratings, obtained with the active probe, are compared with the numerical results

Full textThe properties of ordered diffractive arrays of gold nanoparticles are studied numerically and experimentally. Using numerical simulations I identify, two distinct regimes of lattice response, associated with two-characteristic states of the spectra: Rayleigh anomaly and lattice plasmon mode. In experimental part gold nanoparticle arrays were fabricated using e-beam lithography. Spectroscopic transmission measurements then were carried out to optically characterize these arrays. All the essential features of the experimental spectra were reproduced well by numerical simulations. Electric field distributions for different lattice parameters are studied in order to maximize the enhancement of electric field at the nanoparticle surface. The excitation of plasmon resonances in diffractive arrays of gold nanoparticles placed in asymmetric refractive index environment is examined experimentally. The excitation of the plasmon modes with narrow spectral profile in asymmetric environment was experimentally verified. The ability to tune the wavelength of these resonances in the near infrared range by varying the structural parameters of the periodic arrays in combination with size and geometry of the constituent nanoparticles is discussed. The presented results are of importance for the field enhanced spectroscopy as well as for plasmonic bio and chemical sensing

Full textThis thesis is devoted to modeling of the optical properties of nanostructured dielectrics by metal particles. We interested in two aspects of the problem: the determination of effective index and field distribution of plasmon nanoparticles dispersed in such media. We have developed two numerical approaches. The first is devoted to the simulation of real and imaginary parts of the effective index of heterogeneous medium. In order to compare experience and theory, we have proposed an experimental approach to measure the effective refractive index of colloidal solutions containing metal or semiconductor nanospheres. The second aspect deals with the method of extraction of the field plasmon on the surface of metal nanosphere when it is excited by electromagnetic plane wave. The calculated effective index and field plasmon are done in function of characteristic parameters of nanoparticles and host matrix

Full textIn pharmacological research, living cells are widely used as the sensing medium for biological studies, such as cell apoptosis and cellular reorganization. Different characterization systems are developed to analyze and quantify biological information. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging is sensitive to minute refractive index variations occurring in a medium at the proximity of a metal layer. It has found many applications in pharmacological research since it allows the real-time image acquisition and does not require biological labeling like for fluorescence. However, the propagative nature of surface plasmons (PSPs) limits the spatial resolution by spreading the information in the direction of propagation of the PSPs. This means that it is difficult to spatially resolve details smaller than the attenuation length of the PSPs, generally of the order of tens of micrometers. Several research groups have worked on this limitation in order to improve the spatial resolution in SPR imaging. However, although spatial resolutions lower than that of the propagation have been obtained, those techniques require compromises, such as loss in temporal resolution or in refractive index.In this thesis project, plasmonic devices were designed and characterized in order to improve spatial resolution in SPR imaging, while minimizing compromises with other imaging parameters. These SPR chips are composed of nanostructured metal surfaces where the guided mode combines the properties of propagative plasmons and localized plasmons. An in-house numerical modeling software has demonstrated how the geometry of nanostructured surfaces can be optimized to reduce the attenuation length of the plasmonic mode, while maintaining a high imaging contrast. An optimum geometry was identified, and micron-sized structures have been observed using the optimized nanostructured SPR chips. Experimental results showed a reduction in propagation by a factor of 6.3 compared to uniform metal surfaces.The imaging performances of nanostructured SPR chips were assessed by studying cellular responses following pharmacological stimulation. The chips were used in real-time monitoring of integrity changes in confluent endothelial cell layer following stimulation. Quantification of intercellular gaps in the monolayers showed a significant increase in the number of small holes detected (~ 1μm2) when using nanostructured SPR chips. This increase in sensitivity to cellular activity is the result of improved spatial resolution. Finally, the study of morphology in highly linear cytoskeleton cell enabled the observation of subcellular structures and the monitoring of cytoskeleton reorganization in individual cells. The nanostructured SPR chips designed and realized during this thesis show a strong potential label-free live cell imaging

Full textBiodetection is at the core of the current health concerns, as shown through the variety of applications to HIV screening, food contaminant analysis or water quality monitoring. In this field, plasmonic biosensing is a well-established label-free technique on the market: commercial systems from HORIBA Scientific are currently available for both research and industrial users.Based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon, plasmonic biodetection uses the high sensitivity of an evanescent wave propagating along a metallic film (forming the biochip) and the surrounding dielectric medium interface. More specifically, the adsorption of biomolecules onto the metal surface induces a strong change in the optical properties of a light beam reflected by the biochip: the main principle of plasmonic transduction consists in measuring these physical changes. Several interrogation techniques have therefore been developed to access such optical information, but they fail in meeting the most demanding user requirements for precise, real-time, high-throughput measurement.Initiated by these issues, the instrumentation work presented in this document has led to the development of a novel SPR interrogation technique, referred to as multi-spectral interrogation. Moreover, the promising results obtained have been pushed forward to propose a multi-spectral illumination system based on LEDs, providing attractive performances compared to existing configurations. The biosensing potential of the developed system, demonstrated through applications to genetic diagnosis and cancer detection, opens the door to a new generation of compact, high-performance, low-cost SPR sensors

This plasmon-assisted catalysis approach is general and can be used for a variety of exothermic and endothermic catalytic processes involving nanoparticles. This plasmon-assisted catalysis will make it possible to carry out catalytic reactions at lower energy cost under solar light

Full textThe manipulation of micro- and nano- particles in solution can be achieved through the interactions of these objects with electromagnetic fields. Emitted light, continuous (DC) or alternating (AC) electric fields can be used. In the case of a non-uniform electric field applied between two electrodes separated by a few micrometers, very intense and localized field gradients are created. These field gradients localised close to the electrodes generates a motion of the mass solution (electro-hydrodynamic effects). The charges confined onto particles at the liquid/solid interface are also subjected to motion. Suspended particles undergo an attractive or repulsive force called dielectrophoresis.This force is described in the literature for insulating particles larger than 200 nm. In this study optical detection was used (dark field videomicroscopy or microfluidic spectroscopy) to expand the range of particle size (40-150 nm) and to study their dielectrophoretic responses. Indeed, the dielectrophoresis is dependent on the size of particles, their environment and the parameters of the applied electric field (frequency, amplitude, topology). The dielectrophoresis is in competition with the Brownian motion of these gold nanoparticles. By, knowing the dielectrophoretic response of these particles in solution, it is possible to vary parameters, such as the suspension composition of the particles or the complexity of the systems studied

Full textDuring the last decades a large number of technologies have been developed to analyze intermolecular interactions. In this context, the fluorescence biochips remain the most frequently used. Although this technology is very sensitive and multiplexed, it does not allow access to the kinetic parameters, essential to the calculation of the constants of affinity. Therefore, the research for alternative systems is essential. In this way, the Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) is considered as an opportunity. It is an optical detection process that can occur when a polarized light hits a prism covered by a thin metal layer. Under certain conditions free electrons at the surface of the biochip absorb incident light photons and convert them into surface plasmon waves. Perturbations at the surface of the biochip, such as an interaction between probes immobilized on the chip and targets, induce a modification of resonance conditions which can be measured. It is a label free technology which allows intermolecular interactions in real time and gives access to the kinetics parameters. However, SPRi is limited in sensitivity and multiplexing. The objectives of my PhD were to circumvent these various limits. Thus, we validated the immobilization of DNA probes on gold surface using thiol-modified oligonucleotide probes. Deposition carried out on non-modified gold surface, does not require electrical stimulation and expensive specific robotic devices. The thiol modification of the probes was shown to be very stable at room temperature, contrary to pyrrole and diazonium probes that need to be prepared just prior to their spotting. We demonstrate that thiol-modified oligonucleotide probes spotted on a gold surface of the SPRi-prisms are very robust and reproducible. We also demonstrated that this simple chemistry is compatible with high density arrays fabrication bearing more than 1000 spots using a classical spotter. Furthermore, the modification of the prism surface with gold colloids and dendrimers allowed for DNA/DNA interactions, to reach a detection limit of 2 nM. In parallel of this work, various biological applications were carried out and validate our previous developments. A first study was to screen G-quadruplex specific ligands to inhibit telomerase activity. We demonstrated that SPRi technology is particularly well adapted to the screening of interaction of small molecules with DNA probes and is sensitive enough to permit distinction between interactions with different DNA structures. The second study was on the bacterial partition complex. We study the DNA binding requirement involved in SopB-sopC specific interactions and analysed at the nucleotide level the bases involved in the binding efficiency and essential for the partition All this PhD work improved the SPRi technology and demonstrated its great potential in biological applications

Full textDue to the advantage of surface sensitivity, various SPR biosensors for scientific research fields or personalmedicine markets have been reported. However, especially for SPR imaging applications, the designs are usually basedon prism-coupling method and ensuing chips with array patterns. In fact, these designs entail the disadvantages of alimited spatial resolution and non uniform detection regions. Although several super-resolution microscopes have beenproposed and developed, systems are usually complicated and high-costs. In our thesis, we adopt the surface plasmonresonance technique to build a brand new imaging system. Alongside fluorescence, SPR absorption can be also beexploited towards better imaging and understanding of the surface properties.Towards this aim, we demonstrate a dual-channel radially-polarized surface plasmon microscopy (SPM) systemwith capability down to single nanoparticle detection. For nanospheres stained with fluorescent molecules, we are ableto simultaneously collect the fluorescence and elastic scattering images, these two complementary emitted signalsleading to well co-localized images. The improved resolution and higher sensitivity of our system are enabled by use ofa radial polarizer and a high numerical aperture objective, which provide TM-polarization status to the entire incidentbeam, which results in the formation of a dark circular ring in the reflected image. The fluorescence intensity is thenclearly enhanced by more than 50% under radial polarization as compared to a linear one, while azimuthal polarizationbeing fully TE is ineffective and serves as a reference.We first applied this technique to detect a single fluorescent sphere of 20 nm in diameter, which potentiallyreveals unique information as compared to other measurements on bulk films. Moreover, it also provides a way tocompensate for the blinking characteristic of the fluorescence, which does not affect the elastic scattering channel. Weare currently extending this technique to stained biological objects such as DNA strands and cell membranes in liquidenvironments. This technique has been extended to study two photon fluorescence (TPF) signals from organometallic nanospheres, as well as second harmonic generation (SHG) signals from non-centrosymmetric nanocrystals via a multiphoton confocal microscope. In relation with this research, metallic ion enhanced fluorescence and quenching effects from quantum dots are fundamental topics currently under investigation

Full textIt is well known that surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the surface electromagnetic wave can be used as a sensitive optical probe to the slight variations occurring in the proximity of the metal/dielectric interface. The prism-based Kretschmann configuration is traditionally employed to excite and detect the SPR. In 1993, the first fiber-optic based SPR sensor was realized by R. C. Jorgenson and S. S. Yee and then commercialized by Biacore Company (Sweden). The SPR fiber-optic sensor offers a number of advantages such as small size, low cost and feasibility in remote sensing over the bulk Kretschmann System. A simpler SPR multimode fiber-optic sensor using oblique injection of the collimated monochromatic light has been developed at the TSI laboratory, Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne, France since 1996. Using silver to support SPR at the light wavelength of 670nm, this fiber-optic sensor was characterized as a refractometer operating in the index range of 1. 35-1. 40. This dissertation consists of five articles aimed to develop this kind of fiber-optic sensor for physical, chemical and biological applications. The first article is devoted to drop down the range of measurable indices in order to be capable of performing in most practical chemical and biochemical Systems whose refractive indices are 1. 33-1. 36. The relations between the structural and material parameters of the multilayered configuration for the excitation of SPR at certain wavelength have been theoretically derived. Sol-gel technique is applied to fabricate the Zirconium acetate overlay as thin as some ten nanometers. The reliability is improved by preventing the oxidation of silver using a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of long chain acid thiol. This article has been submitted to Thin Solid Films. Accepted by Sensors & Actuators A, the spatial variations of the electric field vector during the propagation of the skew rays in the multimode fiber are investigated in the second article. An accurate 3D model has been established so that the experimental phenomena, which first demonstrate the influences of the polarization direction of the incident light with respect to the input end face of the fiber, can be consistently explained. The sensing signals coming from such as the adsorption of a very thin dielectric layer on metal surface or the slight variation of the refractive index in the monitored bulk medium are ready to be quantitatively interpreted. Next article, accepted for publication by Applied Optics, proposes a direct method to determine the thickness and the optical constants of the thin metal films deposited on the surface of the fiber core by simple measurements of fiber-optic SPR responses. The significance of this work cornes from the difficulties in characterizing the metal films with curved surfaces by using the conventional optical techniques such as reflectometry and ellipsometry. A novel optical means capable of monitoring the formation process of the alkylthiol SAM is presented in the fourth article, submitted to Journal of Chemical Physics. The application of the fiber-optic SPR technique to study SAMs and the direct observation and description of the tilting process during the self-assembly of alkylthiol, to our knowledge, have never been reported before in the literature. The rather high sensitivity proves that our fiber-optic approach is more adapted than ellipsometry and the prism-based SPR System to monitor the variations over entire investigated dielectric film. Last article, submitted to Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, is dedicated to develop a biosensor based on this fiber-optic arrangement to monitor the biomolecular interaction. With very simple configuration, this immunosensor has manifested good performances in both sensitivity and specificity compared to the commercialized BIACORE Probe that is much more complex and expensive. This work makes a starting progress towards the development of a portable immunoprobe for non-labeling immunoassay. These five articles are independent as well as supplementary each other. The conditions on which the SPR can be excited in a multilayered geometry, obtained in the first article, provide a theoretical basis for the choice of light wavelength or the index range of environment medium while metal gold is used as it can be seen in other articles. The studies of the accurate 3D model in the second article for simulating the performances of the fiber-optic sensors enable to characterize afterwards the metal film (in the third article), the chemical adsorbed layer (in the fourth article) and the functional biomolecular layers (in the 5th article). Moreover, the successful measurement of the metallic film properties in the third article ensures the success in the detection of the alkylthiol SAM, which is adsorbed on the metal surface (referred to the fourth article). Furthermore, the determinations of the gold film and the thiol layer are necessary for characterizing the antibody film and the antibody-antigen-binding layer after the affinity reaction. As a result, a new SPR multimode fiber-optic biosensor has been realized and reported in the 5th article. This biosensor has been well designed, elaborated and characterized at the level of its each layer
Castanié, Aurore. "Surface plasmon hybridization in the strong coupling regime in gain structures." Thesis, Montpellier 2, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013MON20093/document.
Full textSurface plasmon polaritons are non radiative modes which exist at the interface between a dielectric and a metal. They can confine light at sub-wavelength scales. However, their propagation is restricted by the intrinsic losses of the metal which imply a rapid absorption of the mode. The aim of this thesis is the study of the coupling of surface plasmons in metallo-dielectric planar structures. Obtaining the properties of the modes implies the extension of the solutions to the complex plane of propagation constants. The method used consists in determining the poles of the scattering matrix by means of Cauchy's integrals. The first solution to solve the problem of propagation of the surface plasmons consists in coupling these modes to one another. In a symmetric medium, when the thickness of the metallic film becomes thin enough, the coupling between the plasmon modes which exist on each side becomes possible. One of the coupled modes which is created, the so-called long range surface plasmon, has a bigger propagation length than the usual plasmon whereas the other coupled mode, named short range surface plasmon, has a smaller propagation length. We present a configuration which allows the excitation of the long range surface plasmon without the short range mode with a metallic layer deposited on a perfect electric conductor substrate. This excitation can be done in air and allows applications, such as the detection and the characterisation of molecules. Then, we present the coupling between dielectric waveguides, and, in particular, the coupled-mode theory in the case of the transverse magnetic polarisation. We consider also the case of PT symmetric structure. The last part of this work presents the demonstration of the strong coupling regime between a surface plasmon and a guided mode. We demonstrate an increase of the propagation length of the hybrid surface plasmon, which still has the confinement of a surface mode. A linear gain is added in the different layers of the structure. When the gain is added in the layer between both coupled modes allows an enhancement of the propagation lengths of the modes, and more precisely of the hybrid surface plasmon mode, which can propagate at the millimeter scale

This allows immobilization of a variety of commercially available biotin labelled bioreceptors for biosensing application. beta-CD modified Au-NPs were successfully applied as optical antenna for additional SPRi signal amplification using QD labels. The beneficial effect of the combination of these nano-objects enables the construction of highly sensitive DNA or immunosensors.Secondly, various kinds of nanomaterials such as nanodiamonds, carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, graphene and are employed to modify transducer surface followed by non-covalent functionalization with pyrene derivatives. The novel 3D layer-by-layer deposition of nanotubes and different sized nanoparticles with varying porosity presents a flexible approach towards construction of enzymatic or immuno-sensors. Graphene, a material with atomic thickness doubles the SPR sensitivity towards detection of antibody, anti-CT. Finally, an efficient bioelectrocatalytic reduction of oxygen is reported using pyrene functionalized CNT forest as a bio-cathode for bio-fuel cell applications

Full textOptical microcavities exhibit high resonance quality, so that, they are of key interest for the design of low-threshold lasers or for achieving strong coupling regime. But, such systems support modes whose the volume remain diffraction limited.In this manuscript, we are interested in their plasmonic counterparts because they support confined modes at the sub-wavelength scale. First, we study an in-plane plasmonic cavity which is the transposition of 1D optical cavity to surface wave. We characterize the cavity by measuring the fluorescence lifetime of dye molecules deposited inside.Then, we are interested in 3-dimension mode confinement achieved by spherical metal nanoparticles. We discuss on the definition of the mode volume used in cavity quantum electrodynamic and based on the calculation of energy confinement around the particle. We also simulate the fluorescence enhancement of rare-earth ions embedded inside core-shell plasmonic particles. Finally, we disturb the photodynamic emission of a single-photon source by puttingthe extremity of a plasmonic tip nearby the emitter

Full textTo begin with, the characteristics of a DNA hybridization intermolecular interaction at the interface were defined in order to deduce the specifications for our transducers. Following this, the SPR and microcalorimetric transducer will be design by taking into account the constraints of each one. Following the theoretical design of the sensor, a manufacturing process compatible with standard methods of microelectronics manufacturing was tested and identified. To ensure the functionality of the devices, a test of surface functionalization on the sensor was applied to test the compatibility of the manufacturing process with the surface functionalization methods. Finally, a system of active mixing was tested and characterized with a microcalorimetric device to ensure it was possible to mix fluids with organic products to be sure of the quality of the surface reaction. The system developed can be used to mesure DNA hybridization at the interface. This system incorporates two modalities for real-time characterization of intermolecular interactions near the solid/liquid interface. This type of system allows the kinetic measurement of different biological models such as cellular receptors or it is possible to have some molecular measure conformation near the interface. Oxidation of glucose with the enzyme glucose oxidase was shown to present the possibility to measure a biological interaction
