Abstract
A photonic crystal sensor for outputting an output signal using a light source. The photonic crystal sensor includes a photonic crystal structure and a defect member disposed adjacent the photonic crystal structure. The defect member defines an operative surface. An input light signal from the light source is inputted to the photonic crystal structure and defect member and is internally reflected to thereby output the output signal. Also, the output signal relates to a condition at the operative surface.
