Sensors are provided which enable detection with a high sensitivity in microchemistry and biochemical analysis by using devices integrated into a compact configuration and can be freely disposed on desired positions of a channel to perform detection. A measuring apparatus for detecting information and outputting light according to the information, the apparatus comprising: an active layer for emitting light and a micro-optical cavity, wherein light emission is limited in the active layer due to the influence of the selection of a photoelectromagnetic field mode, the selection is made by the micro-optical cavity, the light emission and a degree of selection of a photoelectromagnetic field mode is changed according to an environmental condition of the micro-optical cavity, so that the light emission is changed and the environmental condition is measured according to a change in the light emission.
A sensor for detecting information and outputting light according to the information, the sensor wherein it comprises:
A sensor using a microcavity laser, wherein one of two supporting substances capable of making specific binding with a substance to be detected is supported on a peripheral portion of the micro-optical cavity, and a specific binding state of the substance to be detected with the supporting substance is detected based on information about laser oscillation state of detected laser.
A sensor comprising a micro-optical cavity of a microcavity laser and a probe for generating mechanical deformation on the micro-optical cavity,
