Abstract

Provided is a biosensor device. The biosensor device includes a light source configured to generate source light, a photodetector configured to detect the source light, and a sample box accommodating a biomaterial that receives the source light to generate structured light beam from the source light. The sample box may include a substrate, a spacer on an edge of the substrate, a cover plate on the spacer, and a lower metamaterial pattern disposed on a top surface of the substrate.

Claims (53)

1. A biosensor device comprising:

a light source configured to generate source light;

a photodetector configured to detect the source light; and
