    This document describes a new optical technique called fluid imbibition-coupled laser interferometry (FICLI) to characterize nanofluidic infiltration of nanoporous anodic alumina. FICLI uses laser interferometry to measure how light reflects off the fluid front as it infiltrates the nanopores over time. The data is analyzed to robustly estimate pore radii without needing to know variables like the pore length. Accuracy is demonstrated for pores with increasing and decreasing radii. Potential biosensing applications are discussed, such as detecting biological binding events by measuring radius reductions.
