Combination of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and Optical Waveguide Spectroscopy (OWS) was used for the simultaneous determination of refractive index and film thickness of the hydrogel layers in the Kretschmann configuration [24], The resulting angle scans from the SPR instrument were fit to Fresnel calculations and different layers were represented using a simple box model. A detailed description of this process has been published previously [18]. 

Several optical methods have been used for DNA sensing, such as luminescence, fluorescence Raman or optical waveguide structure spectroscopy, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Various immobilization strategies to attach ssDNA to surfaces with the aim of attaining maximum selectivity and sensitivity have been described. 

Abstract Optical detection continues to dominate detection methods in microfluidics due to its noninvasive nature, easy coupling, rapid response, and high sensitivity. In this review, we summarize two aspects of recent developments in optical detection methods on microfluidic chips. The first aspect is free-space (off-chip) detection on the microchip, in which the conventional absorption, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, surface plasmon resonance, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopies are involved. The second aspect is the optofluidic (inside-chip) detection. Various miniaturized optical components integrated on the microfluidic chip, such as waveguide, microlens, laser, and detectors are outlined.

This chapter does not cover probe-beam deflection used for spectroscopy [22], reflection spectroscopy [23, 24], surface plasmon resonance [23], second harmonic generation [25, 26], ellipsometry (Muller in Refs. [10, 27]), internal reflection ]28], photoacoustic and photothermal spectroscopy ]29] (neither of which has enjoyed widespread application in electrochemistry), or waveguides [30-32].
