High-efficiency photonic crystal microlaser integrated with a passive waveguide.
A GaInAsP photonic crystal slab microlaser with an integrated passive waveguide was fabricated by a MOCVD butt-joint regrowth process. The boundary between the active and passive regions was optimized for high light transmission. In addition, the edge of the waveguide was designed to output a narrow beam, and the light detection was improved. Consequently, a maximum output power of 0.17 mW was ...
متن کاملCALCULATION OF OSMOTIC PRESSURE USING A CLOSED SYSTEM MODEL
In this work we have used a closed system model to derive an analytical equation for the osmotic pressure of two component electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions. In order to do so, we have used an equation of state, known as the dense system equation of state (DSEOS), for the model system. Based on the model, a new definition is given for the osmotic pressure of a closed system. Good ag...
متن کاملIntegrated VCSEL Arrays for Optofluidic Sorting
We present the concept of an ultra-small, potentially low-cost microfluidic sorting unit based on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. The densely packed lasers are integrated with the microfluidic channel and form an optical lattice. We show first results in an experimental setup, followed by tests of the first generation of integrated setups. A promising novel integration approach and fut...
متن کاملMonitoring Acoustic Bubble Oscillations with an Optofluidic Interferometer
A system integrating a trapped bubble with an optofluidic interferometer is introduced. This system allows rapid analysis of the oscillatory characteristics of the bubble when it is excited by an acoustic wave. Such a system shows promise in studying the physics of these oscillations specifically the effects of surface tension and viscosity.
متن کاملIntegrated hollow microneedle-optofluidic biosensor for therapeutic drug monitoring in sub-nanoliter volumes
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) typically requires painful blood drawn from patients. We propose a painless and minimally-invasive alternative for TDM using hollow microneedles suitable to extract extremely small volumes (<1 nL) of interstitial fluid to measure drug concentrations. The inner lumen of a microneedle is functionalized to be used as a micro-reactor during sample collection to tra...
