Silk, the natural protein extracted from silkworm cocoons is a unique biopolymer that combines biocompatibility, implantability, along with excellent optical properties. We study the use of silk as a photonic material in order to integrate photonics with living tissue. Silk can be nanopatterned. This allows manufacturing of structures such as photonic crystals and plasmonic resonators out of a pure protein film. The properties of silk allow these devices to be 'biological activated' offering new opportunites for sensing and biophotonic components. Here I would present the achievements using silk, along with research background about nanophotonics. And remarkable suggestions for future research direction would be presented. |
