TL;DR: The realization of GaAs lasers on a silicon substrate using a print transfer process offers an alternative wafer-bonding technique for the hybrid integration of optoelectronics.

TL;DR: This review describes recently emerging optical and microfluidic technologies suitable for point-of-care genetic analysis systems that must rapidly detect hundreds of mutations from biological samples with low DNA concentration, identifying significant source and detector technology emerging from telecommunications technology.

TL;DR: Single and multi-layer passive optical interconnects using single mode polymer waveguides are demonstrated using UV nano-imprint lithography and a way to experimentally quantify a small variation in index contrast between core and cladding of fabricated devices is shown.

TL;DR: The VCSEL platform validated here is a viable solution for practical realizations of plasmonic functionalities for various applications, such as those requiring sub-wavelength field confinement, refractive index sensitivity or optical near-field transduction with electrically driven sources, thus enabling the realization of on-chip optical communication and lab-on-a-chip devices.

TL;DR: The presented nano-fabrication method provides PhC structures necessary for a high quality optical response and fabricated a refractive index based PhC sensor which shows a sensitivity of 185 nm per RIU.
