ABSTRACT:
An integrated optical chip device for molecular diagnostics comprising a tunable laser cavity sensor chip using heterodyned detection at the juncture of a sensor laser and a reference laser, and including a microfluid chip to which the sensor chip is flip-chip bonded to form a sample chamber that includes exposed evanescent field material of the tunable laser cavity to which fluid to be diagnosed is directed.
