Microfluidic droplet grating for reconfigurable optical diffraction.
This Letter presents a reconfigurable optical diffraction grating using multiphase droplets on a microfluidic chip. The uniform and evenly spaced circular droplets are generated by continuously dispersing two immiscible liquids into a T junction to produce plugs, which are then transformed into a circular shape at a sudden expansion of the microchannel. In experiments, the droplet grating shows...
متن کاملA reconfigurable optofluidic Michelson interferometer using tunable droplet grating.
This paper presents a novel optofluidic Michelson interferometer based on droplet microfluidics used to create a droplet grating. The droplet grating is formed by a stream of plugs in the microchannel with constant refractive index variation. It has a real-time tunability in the grating period through varying the flow rates of the liquids and index variation via different combinations of liquid...
متن کاملOptical Simulation of Grating Diffraction in MATLAB
The “Grating Diffraction Calculator” (GD-Calc) is a MATLAB-based, electromagnetic simulation program that computes diffraction efficiencies of optical grating structures, including biperiodic gratings. The program’s capabilities include a general and flexible grating modeling facility, structure parameterization (with any number of parameters), and unrestricted control over diffraction order se...
متن کاملReconfigurable diffraction gratings based on elastomeric microfluidic devices
This paper describes the fabrication and operating principles of a reconfigurable diffraction grating based on a microfluidic device. Ž . The device consists of an array of microscopic channels 50 mm wide and 20 mm deep defined by the conformal contact between a transparent elastomeric material that has an embossed surface relief and a flat glass substrate. The microchannels can be filled rever...
متن کاملNovel optical switch with a reconfigurable dielectric liquid droplet.
We demonstrated a novel optical switch with a reconfigurable dielectric liquid droplet. The device consists of a clear liquid droplet (glycerol) surrounded by a black liquid (dye-doped liquid crystal). In the voltage-off state, the incident light passing through the clear liquid droplet is absorbed by the black liquid, resulting in a dark state. In the voltage-on state, the dome of the clear li...
