Optical resonator biosensors (optical microcavities) are emerging as one of the most sensitive microsystem biodetection technology that does not require amplification or labeling of the analyte. I will give an overview of the exciting possibilities provided by this highly sensitive technique for molecular diagnostics, nanoparticle detection and -manipulation. I will then talk about the prospects of boosting sensitivity with plasmonic nanoantennas - bringing label-free single molecule detection within reach. Furthermore, I will introduced the concept of disordered photonic crystal structures to obtain Anderson-localized light fields that can be used in sensing as well as for 'designing' random lasers.
