The immobilization and probing of liposomes within photonic crystal fibers was demonstrated for the first time. A bioactive surface was used to tether the liposomes. This bioactive surface consisted of streptavidin bound to a photochemically functionalized biotin layer. Bound streptavidin, hence, en...
