    Abstract

    We demonstrate an optical reader principle aimed at monitoring biologically induced deflections of microcantilevers often used in biosensor systems. The principle is based on a so-called common-path optical interferometer in which the two interfering optical beams are copropagating,which makes the system less sensitive to external disturbances. A detection limit of around 1 nm’s deflection is demonstrated.
