On-Chip Infrared Sensor Technologies for Chem/Bio Diagnostics: Quo Vadis?

State-of-the-art sensing platforms ideally benefit from miniaturized and integrated optical technologies providing direct access to molecule-specific information. With in-situ sensing strategies e.g., in harsh environments or point-of-care diagnostics in medicine becoming more prevalent, detection schemes that do not require reagents or labeled constituents facilitate localized on-site analysis close to real-time.
