Direct detection of carbon dioxide leakage in a carbon storage well is obtained using an optical fiber adapted to be positioned in the carbon storage well, a detection unit operatively connected to the optical fiber, and a leak sensor section incorporated in the optical fiber.

Autonomous fiber optic system for direct detection of COleakage in carbon storage wells

Isolation of biological or chemical organisms can be accomplished using a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) system. The SERS system can be a single or a stacked plurality of photonic crystal membranes with noble-metal lined through pores for flowing analyte potentially containing the biological or chemical organisms. The through pores can be adapted to trap individual biological or chemical organisms and emit SERS spectra, which can then be detected by a detector and further analyzed for viability of the biological or chemical organism.
