Optofluidic 1x4 Switch

TLDR
Optofluidic 1x4 switch made of a blazed grating in silicon elastomer integrated with microfluidic channel was designed, fabricated and tested as mentioned in this paper, and experiments show 1.7dB insertion loss, extinction ratio of 9.8dB, and response time of 60ms.

Electro-optofluidics: achieving dynamic control on-chip

TL;DR: This work introduces a new platform in which the photonic device is controlled using electro-optical phase tuning, and demonstrates dynamic optical trapping control of nanoparticles by an optofluidic resonator.
Journal ArticleDOI

On-chip switching of a silicon nitride micro-ring resonator based on digital microfluidics platform.

TL;DR: The switching of a silicon nitride micro ring resonator (MRR) is demonstrated by using digital microfluidics (DMF), providing control over the effective refractive index at the vicinity of the resonator and thus facilitating the manipulation of the transmission spectrum of the MRR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluid-enhanced tunable diffraction with an elastomeric grating

TL;DR: In this article, a diffraction grating was constructed by soft lithography and the diffraction angle varied from 38.8 to 34.4 degrees with an applied strain of 17.7%.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A short history of optical computing: rise, decline, and evolution

Pierre Ambs
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief historical review of the development of optical computing from the early years, 60 years ago, until today is given, and the results benefit to new research topics such as nanooptics, biophotonics, or communication systems.

PDMS-based opto uidic systems

Jordi Planas
TL;DR: In this paper, several optics and fluidics elements are succesfully integrated in fully functional optouidic systems, and a compact and integrable fluidically controlled optical router (FCOR) is built using soft-lithographic techniques and made entirely of PDMS and air ensuring low cost and robustness.
