On-site analysis of multiple analytes from different classes (such as heavy metals, proteins and small molecules), at the sensitivity required for a selected application, is a hard technological challenge. In this context, optical sensing in miniaturized systems has the largest potential. Baser on our previous findings,[1-3] we present here the design and optimization of a miniaturized optical sensor with multiple channels, capable of multimodal optical detection in each channel, and the proof-of-concept realization of sub-systems providing two complementary detection modes: plasmon enhanced fluorescence and localized surface plasmon resonance. The multichannel (enabling multiplexing) and multimodal optical sensor is designed to have a total size of one inch-square and optimized sensing performance, obtained by combining organic optoelectronic and nanoplasmonic components.

Despite fluorescent sensing is a reference method for the detection of a plethora of different compounds, the exploitation of this class of sensors is still limited to a few application scenarios as a result of the restricted availability of miniaturized, portable, and user-friendly devices.
Here, the smart combination of an organic photodiode (OPD), a Distributed Bragg Filter (DBR), and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is proven to provide a stacked device architecture capable of detecting fluorescent signals for a wide range of concentrations of “Rhodamine 700” ranging from 10-3 M to 10-6 M.
