Hybrid photonic-plasmonic platform for high-throughput single-molecule studies (2019)
Journal Article
Mossayebi, M., Parini, A., Wright, A. J., Somekh, M. G., Bellanca, G., & Larkins, E. C. (2019). Hybrid photonic-plasmonic platform for high-throughput single-molecule studies. Optical Materials Express, 9(6), 2511-2522. https://doi.org/10.1364/OME.9.002511

We present the design and numerical characterization of a hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonator comprised of a 2D photonic crystal (PhC) cavity, a gold bowtie nanoantenna (BNA) and a silicon dioxide, SiO2, spacer. This device is designed to serve a... Read More about Hybrid photonic-plasmonic platform for high-throughput single-molecule studies.

Anti-confocal assessment of middle ear inflammation (2016)
Journal Article
Jung, D. S., Crowe, J. A., Birchall, J. P., Somekh, M. G., & See, C. W. (2016). Anti-confocal assessment of middle ear inflammation. Biomedical Optics Express, 8(1), https://doi.org/10.1364/BOE.8.000230

To improve the diagnostic prediction of recurrence of otitis media with effusion after surgery, an anti-confocal system combined with spectroscopic measurements is proposed to reject unwanted signals from the eardrum and assess the blood content. The... Read More about Anti-confocal assessment of middle ear inflammation.
