What Does OWLS Stand For?

OWLS stands for Optical Waveguide Lightmode Spectroscopy

OWLS, or Optical Waveguide Lightmode Spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to investigate the interaction of light with materials at the nanoscale. By utilizing optical waveguides, OWLS measures changes in the refractive index and provides insights into thin films, biomolecular interactions, and surface phenomena. This method is widely applicable in fields such as biophysics, materials science, and chemistry for its high sensitivity and capability to monitor real-time processes.
