Microdroplet lasers and their applications

Bio-integrated lasers, that are lasers made of biological and biocompatible materials and implanted into cells and tissues, are gaining interest from the research community. Here we show how whispering gallery mode microlasers and microcavities made of solid beads or droplets can be used for sensing different processes in biological materials including inside cells. By making microcavities of a predefined size they can also be used to encode some information and for cell tracking. Sensing and tracking can be applied to highly scattering tissues.
