Abstract
In this work we monolithically integrate a quantum cascade laser (QCL) and detector (QCD) addressing the same wavelengths lambda=1550-1650 cm-1 for liquid spectroscopy. QCL and QCD are combined using a 50-100 µm-long dielectric-loaded surface-plasmon-polariton (DLSPP) waveguide, which typically guides >>90% of the mode outside of the cavity. We show the analysis of the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) and its denaturation process between 25°C-90°C in real time in a microfluidic cell (60 µl) for 20-60 mg/ml BSA-concentrations. To further test the sensor-robustness, we directly submerge it into a beaker and detect H2O up to 35%-40%, solved in isopropyl alcohol.
