20.500.12556/RUL-147232 Microcavity- and microlaser-based optical barcoding a review of encoding techniques and applications Optical microbarcodes have recently received a great deal of interest because of their suitability for a wide range of applications, such as multiplexed assays, cell tagging and tracking, anticounterfeiting, and product labeling. Spectral barcodes are especially promising because they are robust and have a simple readout. In addition, microcavity- and microlaser-based barcodes have very narrow spectra and therefore have the potential to generate millions of unique barcodes. This review begins with a discussion of the different types of barcodes and then focuses specifically on microcavity-based barcodes. While almost any kind of optical microcavity can be used for barcoding, currently whispering-gallery microcavities (in the form of spheres and disks), nanowire lasers, Fabry−Pérot lasers, random lasers, and distributed feedback lasers are the most frequently employed for this purpose. In microcavity-based barcodes, the information is encoded in various ways in the properties of the emitted light, most frequently in the spectrum. The barcode is dependent on the properties of the microcavity, such as the size, shape, and the gain materials. Various applications of these barcodes, including cell tracking, anticounterfeiting, and product labeling are described. Finally, the future prospects for microcavity- and microlaser-based barcodes are discussed. barcodes tagging microcavities microlasers cell tracking cavities fluorescence lasers quantum mechanics true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2023-06-27 12:10:45 2023-06-27 12:10:46 2023-06-30 08:33:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1202–1224 iss. 5 Vol. 10 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 621.3 2330-4022 10.1021/acsphotonics.2c01611 154411267 acsphotonics.2c01611.pdf acsphotonics.2c01611.pdf 1 8ABE9E8E73AEA2C844C0EC28C6360730 f5aa569bf5225ae42bc2e36deff6b0fcb67b35dba61ab7cbf691ac9be7aa520f be9f97c0-14d2-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170730 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsphotonics.2c01611 0 9dd0df25-14d2-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=170729 Fakulteta za matematiko in fiziko 0 0 0
