Description

Micro Disc, Micro Disc Laser and Sensor Using the Same

The present invention relates to a micro disk, a micro disk laser, and a sensor using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a chemical sensor capable of accurately detecting chemical substances using a micro disk laser having a high quality value and oscillating in a single direction. . In addition, the present invention relates to a biosensor using an ultra-high-quality micro-resonator laser oscillating in a single direction as an example of a micro disk, a micro disk laser, and a sensor using the same. The present invention relates to a biosensor that is easy to bond, and does not cause deterioration of quality value when optically coupled to an optical waveguide, and has a high quality value, so that even when a single biomolecule is attached, a wavelength change occurs to measure an extremely small amount of biomaterial.

In recent years, researches using ring resonators have been actively conducted to develop chemical sensors capable of detecting even trace amounts of chemicals. However, since the ring resonator does not have a high quality value, the chemical sensor using the ring resonator has a limitation in that it cannot accurately detect chemicals.

In order to develop a more sensitive chemical sensor, research is being conducted to apply a troid type resonator or a spherical resonator having a higher quality than a ring resonator to a chemical sensor. However, the toroidal resonator or the spherical resonator has to combine the optical waveguide with the resonator because the light does not go out in one direction, but such coupling has a problem of reducing the quality value. In addition, in order to couple the laser or the resonator with the optical fiber is required to fine control the distance is not easy to control, when using the optical fiber is unstable optical coupling in the weak vibrations of the external it is difficult to apply as a chemical sensor.

Apart from the development of chemical sensors using troid type resonators or spherical resonators, chemical sensors using chaotic resonators have also been reported. However, in the chaotic resonator, the trajectory of the laser resonator internal mode is not bound to the edge of the resonator but is bound to an unstable periodic track or a stable periodic track. In this case, a problem may occur that the chemical sensor does not detect the chemical. In order to solve the above problem, the oscillation resonance mode of the laser must be bound to the edge of the laser. A resonator with this characteristic must be able to form a whispering gallery mode, and the whispering gallery mode should oscillate in a single direction.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0640071 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1) proposes a micro disk laser having a unidirectional oscillation characteristic. Patent document 1 discloses that light formed in whispering gallery mode can be oscillated in a single direction. However, in order to make a chemical sensor using the micro disk laser disclosed in Patent Document 1, a chemical substance to be detected must be adsorbed onto the surface of the micro disk. However, there is a problem that chemical substances cannot be selectively adsorbed on the surface of a generally manufactured micro disk, and thus it is not easy to manufacture a chemical sensor using the micro disk.

Therefore, there is a need for a chemical sensor capable of precisely detecting a chemical by using a micro disk to selectively adsorb the chemical to be detected.

In addition, in recent years, research to develop a biosensor using a ring resonator has been actively conducted. This is because the high quality of the ring resonator enables the measurement of the wavelength variation due to the attachment of the biomaterial, thereby detecting the biomaterial. However, the problem of the ring resonator is that it has a limitation as a precision biosensor due to its high quality. Higher sensitivity than the cyclic resonator allows the development of biosensors with higher sensitivity. Toroidal or spherical resonators are extremely high in quality and are gaining attention as biosensors. However, the problem of such a circular resonator is to couple an optical waveguide, such as an optical fiber, close to the resonator in order to inject light into the resonator, thereby creating a resonance mode called a whispering gallery bound to the edge of the resonator. Toroidal resonators can also be used to make lasers. These circular resonator lasers emit light uniformly in all directions and combine a waveguide, such as an optical fiber, with the laser. The problem with this circular resonator is that the light cannot go out in one direction, so the waveguide must be combined with the laser, which causes the quality value to fall. In addition, fine distance adjustment is required to combine the laser or resonator with the optical fiber. This fine distance adjustment is not easy, and when the optical fiber is used, it is difficult to use as a biosensor because the coupling is broken even in the external weak vibration.

Apart from the development of such a biosensor using a circular resonator, a biosensor using a chaotic resonator has been reported. However, in the chaotic resonator, the trajectory of the mode inside the resonator of the laser is not bound to the edge of the resonator but is bound to an unstable periodic track or a stable periodic track. In this case, even if there is a biomaterial on the surface, there is a problem that the laser does not detect the biomaterial. In order to solve the above problem, the oscillation resonance mode of the laser must be bound to the edge of the laser. A resonator with this characteristic should be a resonator capable of creating a whispering gallery mode, which is a confined mode along the edge of the resonator. It is only a circular resonator known to date. Recently, chaotic resonators have been developed in which whispering gallery mode oscillates in a single direction. However, there is no biosensor using the resonator which oscillates in a single direction while the whispering gallery mode is bound to the edge of the resonator as described above. To date, the chaotic resonator with the highest grade value has a passive measurement value of less than 200,000, which limits the measurement. So far, no biosensor has been developed that uses a chaotic resonator with a whispering gallery-type resonance mode that oscillates in a single direction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in the manufacture of a chemical sensor using a micro-disc laser which has a high quality value and oscillates a laser beam of whispering gallery mode in a single direction, The present invention aims to provide a chemical sensor capable of precisely detecting a specific substance by using the characteristic of selective binding of a specific substance according to the treated compound on the surface of the micro disk.

When the second coating layer 220 is formed on the first coating layer 210 by using a compound having a molecular structure of (R′O) ₃ -Si-R, the hydroxyl group present in the first coating layer 210 is formed. As the condensation reaction proceeds between the (R′O) ₃ —Si—R compounds and HOR ′ is released, a —O—Si—R bond is newly formed on the first coating layer 210, the monolayer 221 is formed on the first coating layer 210. It may be formed on the coating layer 210. In this case, R may be polyamiline, polythiophene, polypyrrole, polyphenenylene, or the like.

2 is a view schematically illustrating that a monomolecular film is formed on a first coating layer.

The monolayer 221 or the polymer layer 222 may be formed on the first coating layer 210. For example, in the -O-Si-R bond formed on the first coating layer 210, all of the monomolecular films 221 or the polymer film 222 that can be bonded to Si are R, and according to the monomolecule of the R or the functional group of the polymer, Selective adsorption occurs where certain chemicals are more readily adsorbed. In addition, after the monomolecular film is formed, a new monomolecular film may be formed on the existing monomolecular film by using a functional group present in the monomolecular film.

3 is a view schematically showing that a polymer film is formed on a first coating layer.

Through physical adsorption or chemical bonding, the polymer film 222 may be formed on the first coating layer 210. When the polymer film 222 is physically adsorbed onto the first coating layer 210, for example, a polymer solution in which the polymer is dissolved in a solvent is spin coated and dips on the surface of the first coating layer 210 of the micro disc 100. The coating or coating may be performed by spray coating to form the polymer film 222. As the polymer, for example, a styrene polymer, an acrylic polymer, a methacryl polymer, a vinyl polymer, a urethane polymer, or the like may be used, and the second coating layer 220 may be formed by selecting a polymer that can be combined with a specific material. have.

In addition, the polymer film 222 may be formed on the first coating layer 210 through chemical bonding. Referring to FIG. 3, the polymer film 222 may be formed on the first coating layer 210 by using a functional group present in the first coating layer 210. For example, SiO ₂ may be coated on the surface of the micro disc 100 to form the first coating layer 210, and the monomolecular layer 221 may be formed using the —OH group present in the first coating layer. The polymer film 222 may be formed using a functional group.

Therefore, since the monomolecular film 221 or the polymer film 222 included in the second coating layer 220 may be stably adsorbed or combined with the first coating layer 210, the monomolecular film 221 or the polymer film selectively bondable with a specific material. The 222 can be easily introduced into the micro disc 100.

4 is a view schematically showing that a specific material is selectively bonded on the polymer film.

The monolayer 221 and the polymer layer 222 may be selectively combined with a specific material. In addition, as the specific material is selectively coupled to the monomolecular film 221 or the polymer film 222, the specific material may be detected by measuring a change in the wavelength generated in the resonance mode of the micro disc 100.

The monomolecular film 221 and the polymer film 222 included in the second coating layer 220 may be selectively chemically bonded or chemically adsorbed with a specific material. Referring to FIG. 4, when a gas containing a specific material is supplied to the micro disc 100 coated with the first coating layer 210 and the second coating layer 220, the monomolecular film included in the second coating layer 220 ( Depending on the type of the 221 or the polymer film 222, the type of a specific material that may be chemically bonded or chemically adsorbed to the second coating layer 220 may be different.

5 is a view schematically showing that a specific material is combined with a polymer.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, A linear hydrogen-bond acidic linear functionalized polymer may be selectively combined with DMMP gas, Sarin gas and 2-CEES gas. In other words, a specific material (eg, DMMP gas, etc.) may be selectively bonded to the second coating layer by a functional group present in the monolayer 221 or the polymer layer 222 included in the second coating layer 220.

The monomolecular film or the polymer film included in the second coating layer 220 of the micro disk 100 may be formed as a compound selected from a compound capable of chemically bonding or chemically adsorbing a specific material. The micro disk 100 coated with the first coating layer 210 and the second coating layer 220 on the surface may oscillate a laser beam having a constant wavelength value in the resonance mode. However, when a specific material is bonded or adsorbed to the monomolecular film 221 or the polymer film 222 included in the second coating layer 220, the micro disk 100 may have a wavelength value at which the wavelength value of the oscillation laser beam is changed. .

The micro-disc 100 is a wavelength of the changed wavelength in the resonance mode as a specific material is selectively bonded to the mono-molecular layer 221 or the polymer layer 222 included in the second coating layer 220 formed on the side of the micro-disc 100. It can be manufactured as a chemical sensor that can detect a specific material.

In addition, the micro disk laser according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a micro disk 100 and an excitation portion capable of exciting the edge of the micro disk 100, and is bound to the edge of the interface of the micro disk 100 The high quality whispering gallery mode can be oscillated in a single direction.

The micro disc laser can oscillate the whispering gallery mode having a high quality value in a single direction, so that light coupling is easy and light can be incident into the optical waveguide without any damage to the quality value. Therefore, when a chemical sensor is fabricated using a micro disk laser including the micro disk 100 having a high quality whispering gallery mode, it is possible to accurately detect a specific substance even in a low concentration gas environment.

The micro disk laser may include a plurality of micro disks 100. When the micro disk laser includes a plurality of micro disks 100, each of the plurality of micro disks 100 may have a first coating layer 210 and a second coating layer 220 on the side of the micro disk 100 under the same conditions. It is preferable that the first coating layer 210 and the second coating layer 220 formed on each of the plurality of micro disks 100 have the same thickness.

The excitation portion may excite the edge of the micro disk 100 by light or current. For example, as light or current is supplied through the upper or lower surface of the micro disk 100, the edge portion of the micro disk 100 may be excited, and the edge portion is inside the side of the micro disk, and the edge portion is the whispering. Not only the gallery mode but also the whispering gallery mode polygonal resonance mode can be formed.

When light or current is supplied to the micro disc 100, the whispering gallery mode having a high quality value may be oscillated at the edge of the micro disc 100 as an excitation portion. The whispering gallery mode may include a whispering gallery mode bound along an edge or boundary of the micro disc 100 or a resonance mode in the form of a whispering gallery mode bound along a periodic trajectory adjacent to the side of the micro disc 100. Can be.

In addition, the resonance mode bound along the periodic trajectory adjacent to the side of the micro-disc 100 may include a resonance mode in the form of a whispering gallery mode bound along a stable trajectory of period 4 or more or an unstable trajectory of period 4 or more. . In the case of the stable track less than period 4 and the unstable track less than period 4, the whispering gallery mode phenomenon disappears, and the whispering gallery mode bound along the periodic track adjacent to the side of the micro-disc 100 is stable in period 4 or more. It may include a resonance mode in the form of a whispering gallery mode that is bound along an orbit or an unstable orbit of period 4 or more.

The chemical sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a measuring unit for measuring the oscillation wavelength value of the micro disk laser and the laser beam oscillated from the micro disk laser, the oscillation wavelength value of the laser beam measured by the measuring unit The specific substance can be detected using the change of.

The chemical sensor measures a slight change in the wavelength generated as the specific material is selectively bonded to the monolayer 221 or the polymer film 222 included in the second coating layer 220 of the micro disc 100, thereby determining the specific material. The type and concentration can be measured precisely.

The first coating layer 210 and the second coating layer 220 are formed on the side of the micro disk 100 included in the chemical sensor, and the micro disk 100 may oscillate a laser beam having a constant wavelength value in a resonance mode. have. When the chemical sensor is placed under a gas environment containing a specific material, the specific material present in the gas may be separated from the monomolecular film 221 or the polymer film 222 included in the second coating layer 220 of the micro disk 100 of the chemical sensor. It may be chemically adsorbed or bound. Accordingly, the existing wavelength value of the laser beam of the micro disc 100 may have a changed value.

The change in the oscillation wavelength value of the laser beam measured by the measuring unit of the chemical sensor is a change generated when a specific material is bonded to the second coating layer 220 of the micro disc 100. That is, the measurement unit may measure the changed oscillation wavelength value of the laser beam oscillated from the micro disc 100 by a specific material bonded to the second coating layer 220 of the micro disc 100. The measurement unit included in the chemical sensor may measure the wavelength value of the laser beam oscillated on the micro disk 100 before the specific material is combined with the wavelength value of the laser beam oscillated on the micro disk 100 after the specific material is combined. Can be.

The chemical sensor may include an operation unit driven in conjunction with the measurement unit, and the operation unit may calculate and provide a type of a specific substance and a concentration of the specific substance to the user by using the data value measured by the measurement unit.

For example, the chemical sensor may measure and calculate the degree of variation of the wavelength value of the micro disk due to the binding of a specific material to detect a specific material based on the calculated value. In addition, the degree of variation of the wavelength value can be processed in the form of a lookup table to measure the concentration of a specific substance, and the degree of variation of the wavelength value can be processed in a mathematical function or graph form to measure the concentration of the specific substance. In addition, the degree of variation of the wavelength value according to the measurement time may be processed in a mathematical function or graph form to more accurately measure the concentration of a specific substance.

Therefore, the chemical sensor may process the measured value in various forms and provide it to the user based on the variation degree of the wavelength value of the micro disk laser changed by the specific material.

In addition, the measuring unit may include a spectrometer. That is, the wavelength value of the micro disk laser changed by the specific material can be measured by using a spectrometer.

The change in wavelength value oscillating through the micro disc can be measured by optical beating with the wavelength oscillating in another micro disc or the wavelength generated by another high quality laser.

In addition, in order to improve the above-mentioned conventional problems, it is easy to use a micro resonator laser having a high quality value and oscillating in one direction. Recently, extremely high quality microresonator lasers oscillating in one direction have been developed. These resonators include a resonator laser consisting of four circles, a resonator laser consisting of three circles and a straight line, and an egg resonator laser. These resonators are extremely high in product quality, so the laser is fabricated and chemically treated to use the surface as a biosensor, and then used as a biosensor, which is an extremely high quality value, so that accurate measurement is possible and light comes out in one direction. Light can be incident on an optical waveguide without losing value. Creating biosensors in this way results in ultra-precision biosensors.

To make an ultra-precise biosensor, biomaterials must be selectively adsorbed to the side of the microdisc laser. One method for making a micro resonator laser is made of group III-V materials or semiconductors, or pigmented in various other polymer polymers, or using a general solid medium. For example, a III-V semiconductor material may be used as the semiconductor, and a GaAs series, InGaAsP, GaN series, or the like may be used as the III-V semiconductor material. In addition, as a solid medium, various solid laser media such as Nd: YAG, Nd: Glass, NdYVO ₄ , Sapphire doped with impurities, and ruby may be used.

As the polymer to which the dye is added, for example, a polymer to which a dye produced by adding a number of pigments such as Rhodamine 6G and Rhodamine B to a number of polymers such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) can be used.

However, the kind of the polymer to which the above-described semiconductor, solid medium or pigment is added is merely an example for description, and does not limit the kind of the polymer to which the semiconductor, solid medium or dye is added.

Since the biomolecule cannot attach to the surface of such a laser medium, it must be chemically treated to have selectivity. Such chemical treatment methods have been developed in existing ring resonators. That is, SiO ₂ is coated on the side of the laser to attach the OH group, and then chemically surface-treated to attach the nucleic acid (DNA) or the antibody to the laser using a chemical reaction. Bacterial antigens bind to antibodies and, in the case of nucleic acids, to viral or bacterial nucleic acids.

In the measurement of wavelength variation using a biosensor, if the wavelength value after attaching the antibody is known, the wavelength variation can be measured when the antigen binds to the antibody. In addition, if the value of the wavelength after attaching the nucleic acid is known, the variation in the wavelength may be measured when the nucleic acids are combined. In other words, a predetermined substance can be detected (or sensed) by measuring the change in wavelength generated in the resonance mode of the micro disk constituting the biosensor. Since antigens and antibodies are selective, measuring the variation in wavelength when binding various antibodies after attaching various types of antibodies can confirm whether the antigens are bound, and thus can accurately diagnose diseases and the like. In the case of a nucleic acid, a laser oscillation wavelength is measured after attaching a nucleic acid of a specific bacterium or a virus-specific sequence artificially synthesized, and thereafter, a wavelength variation of a specific nucleic acid from a plurality of artificially synthesized nucleic acids by the virus or bacterial nucleic acid is measured. When the nucleic acid at this time is a virus or bacteria present, such a wavelength variation can be used to diagnose the disease.

In other words, an antigen or nucleic acid biomolecule is applied by chemical treatment to the surface of the microdisk resonator so that the biomolecule can adhere to the side of the unidirectional oscillation high quality microdisk laser, and the unknown biomolecule to be detected is the antigen or The presence of unknown biomolecules can be detected by measuring variations in wavelengths that occur upon binding to nucleic acid biomolecules.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As an embodiment of the present invention, a biosensor using a high quality micro disk may be provided. In a biosensor using a micro disk in which the whispering gallery mode has a high quality value, the micro disk has a single direction in which the whispering gallery mode has a stronger intensity of oscillation in one direction than an oscillation intensity in the other direction. Oscillated with a semiconductor, manufactured using a semiconductor, a solid medium or a polymer, the micro disc may be coated with a dielectric material on its side to enable chemical bonding with a virus, a bacterial antibody or a nucleic acid. In other words, micro discs can be fabricated using semiconductors, solid media or polymers. The Whispering Gallery mode, which is bound to the interface edge of the micro disc, may have a high quality value of 10 ⁴ or more.

In addition, the microdisc has a high quality factor in the whispering gallery mode bound to the edge, and can oscillate the whispering gallery mode in one direction, and the dielectric material (ex. Oxide or nitride) on the side of the microdisc. Etc.) By allowing the coating layer to be formed, the antibody or the prepared nucleic acid can be attached to the micro disk. In addition, a specific substance (eg, a virus, a bacterial antigen or a nucleic acid, etc.) may be selectively bound by an antibody or a prepared nucleic acid attached to a coating layer of a microdisk laser. The high-quality whispering gallery mode on the micro-disc can accurately detect specific substances even in low concentration samples. In addition, the biosensor accurately measures the type and concentration of a specific material by measuring a small change in the wavelength generated when the predetermined material is bound to an antibody or nucleic acid chemically bound to the coating surface of the micro disk. It can be measured.

The whispering gallery mode bound along the periodic trajectory adjacent to the side of the micro disk may include a resonance mode in the form of a whistle gallery mode bound along a stable trajectory of period 4 or more or an unstable trajectory of period 4 or more. In the case of stable tracks less than period 4 and unstable tracks less than period 4, the whispering gallery mode phenomenon is eliminated, so the whispering gallery mode, which is bound along the periodic track adjacent to the side of the microdisc, is stable or It may be desirable to include a resonance mode in the form of a whispering gallery mode bound along four or more unstable trajectories.

The dielectric material may be an oxide (eg SiO ₂₎ Etc.) or nitride (eg, GaN, SiN, etc.), and the antibody or nucleic acid can be attached to the micro disc via a chemical reaction on the side coated with the dielectric material. For example, the oxides are TiO ₂ , MgO, K ₂ O, Al ₂ O ₃ , Li ₂ O, Na ₂ O, Rb ₂ O, Cs ₂ O, BeO, CaO, SrO, BaO, B ₂ O ₃ , Ga ₂ O ₃ , In ₂ O ₃ , Ti ₂ O ₃ , SiO ₂ , GeO ₂ , SnO ₂ , PbO ₂ , P ₄ O ₁₀ , As ₂ O ₅ , Sb ₂ O ₅ , Bi ₂ O ₅ , SeO ₃ , TeO ₃ , PoO ₃ , I ₂ O ₇ and At ₂ O ₇ is an oxide selected from, the nitride is Li ₃ N, Na ₃ N, K ₃ N, Mg ₃ N ₂ , Be ₃ N ₂ , Ca ₃ N ₂ , Sr ₃ N ₂ , ScN, Fe ₂ N, Cu ₃ N, Zn ₃ N ₂ , (CN) ₂ . It may be a nitride selected from S ₄ N ₄ , Se ₄ N _4, GaN and SiN.

In addition, a predetermined antigen can be bound to the antibody through the antigen-antibody reaction in the micro disk, and whether or not the predetermined antigen is bound by the change of the wavelength of the resonance mode in the micro disk by the antigen bound to the antibody can be detected. Can be.

Predetermined nucleic acids can be bound through a reaction between nucleic acids in the micro disk, and whether or not the predetermined nucleic acids are bound by the change of the wavelength of the resonance mode in the micro disk by the bound nucleic acids.

The change in the wavelength value oscillating through this micro disk can be measured by optical beating with the wavelength oscillating in another micro disk or the wavelength oscillating in another high quality laser.

The micro-disc of the biosensor has an excitation device to oscillate a whispering gallery-shaped mode with a direction, and the biosensor may include a micro-disc laser using such a micro-disc.

In addition, the micro disk laser can use the dye laser which added the pigment | dye to a semiconductor, a solid medium, or a polymer.

The micro-disc laser can be excited with light or current in an area where the incident angle of the boundary surface of the resonator is larger than the critical angle in the Birkhoff coordinate system where the propagation of light inside the resonator is confused.

The biosensor may include a plurality of micro discs, each of which has a different antibody attached thereto, and a predetermined bio-antigen based on the degree of variation in wavelength during antigen-antibody reaction in each micro disc. Substances can be detected.

In addition, the biosensor may include a plurality of micro disks, and each of the plurality of micro disks has a different nucleic acid attached thereto. Certain biomaterials can be detected.

Predetermined biomaterials may be detected using a lookup table that represents the degree of variation in wavelength according to the reaction between different antibodies and the given biomaterial.

In addition, a lookup table showing a degree of variation in wavelength depending on the degree of attachment of a predetermined biomaterial, which is a detection target nucleic acid, to each different nucleic acid attached to each micro disk is used to detect a predetermined biomaterial. Can be.

The biosensor may include a plurality of micro disks, some of the micro disks have an antibody attached thereto, others have a nucleic acid attached thereto, and antigens to the antibody according to the change of wavelength in the micro disk by the antigen-antibody reaction. Is detected, whether or not the detection target nucleic acid is bound to the nucleic acid according to the change of the wavelength in the micro disk by the reaction between nucleic acids, whether the antigen binding and the binding of the nucleic acid can be detected at the same time. .

Further, the biomaterial to be detected based on predetermined data on the degree of variation in wavelength due to antigen-antibody reaction with the antibody attached to the micro disk or the degree of variation in wavelength due to internucleic acid reaction with the nucleic acid attached to the micro disk. This can be detected and this data can be in the form of a function or graph.

The micro disk may be a micro disk having a high quality value in the mode of whispering gallery in the chaotic resonator. Such a micro disk may be a micro disk in which a whispering gallery type mode oscillates with a stronger unidirectionality than oscillation intensity in one direction is stronger than oscillation in the other direction.

The whispering gallery type mode may be a mode in which the sine function of the angle of incidence of light in the Birkhoff coordinate system where the light propagates inside the micro disc resonator is confused.

In addition, the whispering gallery mode is constrained to a mariginally unstable periodic orbit where the angle of incidence of the boundary surface of the resonator is larger than the critical angle in the Birkhoff coordinate system where the light propagates in the micro disc resonator. It may be a mode.

The whispering gallery mode is a mode in which the incidence angle of the boundary surface of the resonator is in a region larger than the critical angle in the Birkhoff coordinate system where the light propagates in the micro disc resonator, or the light inside the resonator. In the Birkhoff coordinate system where the progression of chaos is confused, it may be a mode confined to an unstable orbit where the incidence angle of the boundary surface of the resonator exists in a region larger than the critical angle.

As an embodiment of the present invention, a biosensor using a micro disk laser having a high quality whispering gallery type mode oscillating strongly in one direction may be provided. Such a micro-disc laser may have an unintegratable shape such as a deformed circle, a shape consisting of four arcs, a shape consisting of three circles and one straight line, an ellipse shape such as an egg shape, and a shape in which a heart shape and an arc are combined. The non-integral shape means a shape in which the internal wave function cannot be obtained analytically by separating the Helmholtz equation in two dimensions. In order to use the micro-disc lasers as biosensors, GaN, SiN, or SiO ₂ may be coated on the side of the micro-disc first, and then the antibody or nucleic acid may be attached to the surface of the micro-disc through chemical treatment. At this time, a method known to attach the antibody or nucleic acid can be used. Whenever this adhesion occurs, there is a slight change in the refractive index of the microdisk, resulting in a variation in wavelength. Measuring the variation in these wavelengths estimates how many antibodies or nucleic acids are bound to the virus or bacterial antigen or viral or bacterial nucleic acid. You can do this and estimate the amount of virus or bacteria in the space. When a virus or bacterial antigen or nucleic acid is sent to a micro disc resonator laser, the antigen reacts with the antibody and the nucleic acid reacts with the nucleic acid, causing a different wavelength variation. Therefore, after attaching an antibody or artificial nucleic acid to a micro disk and measuring the wavelength of each resonator laser, a wavelength variation occurs when a virus or bacterial antigen or nucleic acid binds to an antibody or a nucleic acid, respectively. By measuring the variation of these wavelengths, a particular (eg, detection target) virus or bacterium can be identified. At this time, the antigen-antibody reaction occurs selectively, and in the reaction between nucleic acids, the binding occurs when the same nucleic acid, and thus, the specific disease can be diagnosed by identifying which laser has caused the wavelength variation. To this end, during the fabrication of ultra-high quality micro-disc laser, the surface of the SiO ₂ , GaN or SiN is coated by passivation after etching the micro disc. These coatings not only prevent leakage currents when injecting current into the laser, but also require various dielectric coatings for attachment of antibodies or artificial nucleic acids after chemical treatment.

In addition, attachment of the antibody or nucleic acid to the micro disc resonator may be easily attached to the antibody or artificial nucleic acid if a person of ordinary chemical knowledge.

The whispering galleries can be coated with a dielectric on the side of a high quality micro disk resonator laser that oscillates in a single direction, followed by chemical reaction to attach an antibody or nucleic acid. Subsequently, when a disease is to be diagnosed through an antigen-antibody reaction, antibodies corresponding to the diseases are attached to the side of each microdisk laser to a plurality of microdisk lasers, and then the microdisk lasers are microfluidic channel. In a virus or bacteria, and then flow through the microfluidic to produce an antigen-antibody reaction. At this time, the wavelength when the microfluidic is absent is measured, and then the variation of the wavelength generated when the antigen-antibody reaction occurs. These measurements are performed on all micro disk lasers, and micro disk lasers without antigen-antibody reactions do not produce wavelength variations, while micro disk lasers with antigen-antibody reactions may produce wavelength variations. In other words, it is possible to diagnose (detect) certain diseases, for example, to be detected, by measuring the variation in wavelengths resulting from the antigen-antibody reaction.

 When a disease is to be diagnosed through a nucleic acid reaction, a plurality of micro disk lasers are attached to the side of each micro disk laser by attaching nucleic acids artificially made of nucleic acids according to the unique nucleic acid sequence of each virus or bacterium. The microfluidic channel can be placed in a microfluidic channel, and a virus or bacteria can be treated to send a solvent from which nucleic acids are extracted to the microfluidic compound, and to generate a nucleic acid reaction. Since nucleic acids bind to each other by reacting between complementary nucleic acids, a variation in wavelength may occur only in those nucleic acids. In other words, since the bases of nucleic acids form hydrogen bonds with corresponding bases (e.g., A is T, G is C), only the complementary nucleic acid sequences react and bind, thus changing the wavelength of only the bound nucleic acids. Occurs. At this time, a solvent in which the nucleic acid is not extracted is flowed into the microfluidic, and the wavelength is measured, and then the variation of the wavelength generated when the nucleic acid reaction occurs. These measurements are performed on all micro disk lasers. Micro disc lasers without nucleic acid reactions do not produce wavelength variations, while micro disk lasers with nucleic acid reactions may cause wavelength variations. In other words, it is possible to diagnose (detect) certain diseases, for example, to be detected, by measuring the variation in wavelength caused by the nucleic acid reaction.
