Multi-wavelength fluorescence sensing with integrated waveguides in an optofluidic chip
نویسندگان
چکیده
Femtosecond-laser-written integrated waveguides enable multi-wavelength fluorescence sensing of flowing biomolecules in an optofluidic chip. Fluorescence from differently labeled biomolecules with distinct absorption wavelengths, encoded by uniquely modulating each excitation beam, is detected by a color-blind photodetector, and the origin of each signal is unraveled by Fourier analysis. Keywords-optofluidics; biophotonics; fluorescence sensing

Multi-point, Multi-wavelength Fluorescence Monitoring of DNA Separation in a Lab-on-a-chip with Monolithically Integrated Femtosecond-laser-written Waveguides
Electrophoretic separation of fluorescently labeled DNA molecules in on-chip microfluidic channels was monitored by integrated waveguide arrays, with simultaneous spatial and wavelength resolution. This is an important step toward point-of-care diagnostics with multiplexed DNA assays. © 2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (260.2510) Fluorescence, (280.4788) Optical sensing and sensors.
متن کاملOptofluidic Lab-on-a-Chip Fluorescence Sensor Using Integrated Buried ARROW (bARROW) Waveguides
Optofluidic, lab-on-a-chip fluorescence sensors were fabricated using buried anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguides (bARROWs). The bARROWs are impervious to the negative water absorption effects that typically occur in waveguides made using hygroscopic, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) oxides. These sensors were used to detect fluorescent microbeads and had an average sign...

In this paper, we introduce a liquid core antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) as a novel optofluidic device that can be used to create innovative and highly functional microsensors. Liquid core ARROWs, with their dual ability to guide the light and the fluids in the same microchannel, have shown great potential as an optofluidic tool for quantitative spectroscopic analysis. ARROWs...

The substitution of conventional bench-top instrumentation by fully integrated lab-on-chip systems continues to be a challenge. The integration of microfluidics and integrated optics in glass is an important step towards this goal, forming the focus of this work [1]. In particular, excitation and detection of fluorescence emitted by labeled biomolecules flowing through a microfluidic channel is...
