Abstract

A fluorescent chemical sensor platform, integrating an organic light-emitting device (OLED) light-source with a fluorescent probe, is demonstrated for a subsecond-fast oxygen sensor. The integration results in strong light coupling and negligible heating of the sensor film or analyte. The potential in vivo operation of compact, stand-alone, battery-powered, OLED-based miniaturized sensor arrays for chemical and biological applications is discussed.
