Abstract
A method for forming an optical device for detecting the presence or amount of an analyte of interest comprising a substrate which supports an optically active layer, an attachment layer provided on the optically active layer, and a receptive layer specific the analyte provided on the attachment layer. The method comprises forming the optically active layer with a chosen refractive index on the substrate by curing the optically active layer on the substrate at a controlled temperature or for a controlled length of time and subsequently providing the attachment and receptive layers on the optically active layer.
