Photonics has long been used to study non-solid materials such as liquids, gases and
plasmas, but these fluidic media have traditionally not comprised a functional part of the …

Over the past decade, optofluidics has established itself as a new and dynamic research
field for exciting developments at the interface of photonics, microfluidics, and the life …

Optofluidic transport seeks to exploit the high-intensity electromagnetic energy in
waveguiding structures to manipulate nanoscopic matter using radiation pressure and …

In this work, we demonstrate an optofluidic switch using a microring resonator architecture to
direct particles trapped in the evanescent field of a solid-core waveguide. When excited at …

Optofluidics is an emerging field that involves the use of fluids to modify optical properties
and the use of optical devices to detect flowing media. Ultimately, its value is highly …

Complete integration of microfluidic and optical functions in a single lab-on-chip device is
one goal of optofluidics. Here, we demonstrate the hybrid integration of a PDMS-based fluid …

Precise manipulation and sorting of nanomaterials cannot rely on techniques used for micro-
and macro-scale objects because of their nanoscale size, which is smaller than the …

Laser Doppler velocimetry is used to measure very accurately the velocity and position of a
microparticle propelled and guided by laser light in liquid-filled photonic crystal fiber …

We report a novel technique for launching broadband laser light into liquid-filled hollow-core
photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). It uniquely offers self-alignment and self-stabilization via …

We report size-based sorting of micro-and sub-micron particles using optical forces on a
planar optofluidic chip. Two different combinations of fluid flow and optical beam directions …
