Abstract

Over the past few decades, photonic crystals have emerged as interesting photonic structures. It plays a vital role in many fields of optical communication, biomedical sensing, and other applications due to its compactness, high sensitivity, high selectivity, fast responsiveness, etc. The strong light limitation in photonic crystals and the adjustment of its structural parameters have led to the emergence of photonic crystal biosensors. Biosensors are extensively employed for diagnosing a broad array of diseases and disorders in clinical settings worldwide. Photonic crystal-based biosensor is one of the solutions to detect various diseases. By using the literature review method, this paper aims to examine the application of photonic crystal-based biosensors to encounter the sensitivity of various biomolecules for cancer, malarian, and blood components detection.

Keywords: Biomolecules, Biosensors, Detection, Photonic crystal, Sensitivity.
