Micromachined optical waveguide cantilever as a resonant optical scanner
Design, fabrication, and testing of a micromachined cantilever beam that is optically transmissive and operates in the resonant mode is presented with application as a micro-optical scanner. An optical waveguide is formed from a 2.2 mm thick SiO2 layer deposited on a single crystal silicon wafer and etched to yield a SiO2/Si composite slab cantilever. Using a novel capacitively coupled reactive...
متن کاملCantilever deflection read-out with a grated waveguide optical cavity
We propose a novel and highly sensitive mechanooptical device for gas-sensing through nano-displacements, based on micro-cantilevers, supplied with a selective gas absorbing layer (Pd), suspended above a Si3N4 grated waveguide (GWG). We present the simulation and preliminary experimental results, which indicate the sensing of nanodisplacements, an important intermediate step for the gas-sensing...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Determination of Blood Glucose Levels by Optical Waveguide
Objective: Today, there are various non-invasive techniques available for the determination of blood glucose levels. In this study, the level of blood glucose was determined by developing a new device using near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, glass optical waveguide, and the phenomenon of evanescent waves. Materials and Methods: The body's interstitial fluid has made possible the development of ne...
متن کاملLight Actuated Microfluidic Devices
A light-actuated microfluidic device has been successfully fabricated to inject, move, separate, and merge liquid droplets with nano-liter volumes. Light actuation is realized by sandwiching the liquid droplets between two photosensitive surfaces whose wettability can he changed by light. By integrating a photoconductor with an electrowetting electrode, the surface tension at the liquidsolid in...
متن کاملGrated Waveguide Optical Cavity as a Compact Sensor for Sub-nanometre Cantilever Deflections
We propose a novel and highly sensitive integrated read-out scheme, capable of detecting sub-nanometre deflections of a cantilever in close proximity to a grated waveguide structure. We discuss modelling results for an SiO2 cantilever to be integrated with an optical cavity defined by a grated Si3N4 waveguide.
