Abstract

Photonic crystals are periodical materials which are made by periodically arrangement of more than two materials with different reflective index. Photonic crystals have periodical and repeated unit structure with nanometer scale, and its optical properties can be tuned by reasonably designing of the structure units. Photonic crystals have been applied not only in clinical diagnosis, drug delivery, optical switches, ion probe, but also in biosensors and chemical sensors. Here the preparation methods and applications in sensors field of photonic crystals are summarized.
