Planar Integrated Free-Space Optical Fluorescence Detector for Micro Fluidic Applications
Fluorescence detectors are useful for various applications in biomedicine e.g. for pH-sensing or single-cell detection. Commonly conventional macroscopic optical systems are used for such applications. Planar integrated free space optical systems (PIFSO) offer the advantages of compact efficiently integrated systems and good accuracy in the terms of alignment and fabrication. Segmented flow sys...
متن کاملDisposable integrated microfluidics with self-aligned planar microlenses
Design, fabrication, and characterization of the disposable integrated microfluidic devices with self-aligned planar microlenses for the applications of bioanalytical system are described. The development of the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based disposable integrated microfluidics is realized by the monolithic integration of self-aligned two-dimensional (2D) planar micro-optics with microfluidi...
متن کاملStretch-tuneable dielectric mirrors and optical microcavities.
We demonstrate how tuneable Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs) and resonant micro-cavities can be built by a scalable layer assembly of the transparent utility rubbers polydimethylsiloxane and polystyrene-polyisoprene. Stretching the devices by more than 60% leads to an affine contraction of the layer thicknesses thereby tuning both DBR and cavity modes across the entire visible spectrum. Such...
متن کاملCombination of binary and analog lithography to fabricate efficient planar-integrated free-space optical (PIFSO) interconnects
Planar-integrated free-space optics is a highly suitable system concept for realizing densely packed parallel free-space optical short-range interconnects that are compatible with established design and fabrication methods of integrated microelectronics [1]. For use in real-world IT systems, however, the coupling efficiency of such PIFSO interconnects needs to surpass levels of the order of –15...
متن کاملPlanar Integrated Optics and astronomical interferometry
Integrated optics (IO) is an optical technology that allows to reproduce optical circuits on a planar substrate. Since 1996, we have investigated the potentiality of IO in the framework of astronomical single mode interferometry. We review in this paper the principles of IO, the requirements for interferometry and the corresponding solutions offered by IO, the results of component characterizat...
