Waveguide-based sensors/detectors. (a) The top surface of a waveguide can be functionalized to attract specific molecules. The exponentially decaying portion of the propagating mode is interacting with the trapped particles, which yields a signal modification; (b) multiple channel waveguides illuminate a sample (which can be very large), which can reflect, deflect, or diffract the beams.
