Label-free Biosensor Based on Photonic Crystal Microcavity for Malaria Detection with High Sensitivity

The majority of deaths occur in tropical countries is due to Malaria disease. The people infected by this malady caused by a parasite will have severe complications like anemia, cerebral Malaria, organ failure, etc. Several technologies have been developed for detecting Malaria. Label-free optical biosensors have received considerable attention due to their contribution to significant advances in medical diagnostics and chemical and biochemical applications. One-dimensional photonic crystal (1D PC) optical biosensors have attracted the most interest of many researchers because they open the possibility of controlling and manipulating light in confined space. In addition, they have received significant attention owing to their high sensitivity, reliability, and short detection time. For this reason, we have investigated a highly sensitive biosensor based on a 1D PC platform for detecting Malaria disease at an early stage.
