After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the most important optical sensors and their physical principles for the detection of biomolecules and to select them for different applications.
New optical technologies based on micro- and nanotechnologies are providing the realization of compact and sensitive sensors for the measurement of a wide range of medical parameters.
Physical basics of radiation sources, scattering on particles, wave optics, optical sensors for blood analytics, sensors based on surface plasmon resonance, sensors based on optical waveguides, biosensor microsystems, biosensors based on photonic crystals, sensors based on particle scattering, fluorescence based sensors
Due to the current requirements of the federal government and the Vienna University of Technology, it is not possible to hold this course and its examinations in presence, so we will switch to online teaching. These rules are valid until revoked.
