Abstract :
Incorporation of DNA into nanoscale wells in a silicon substrate has been demonstrated to show fabrication feasibility for optically tunable photonic crystal waveguides. A change in propagation characteristics due to DNA incorporation has been observed for a silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal waveguide.
