Tunable ultrafast nonlinear optofluidic coupler.
We present an optofluidic nonlinear coupler fabricated by selective filling of two strands of a photonic crystal fiber with the liquid CCl4 which exhibits a large ultrafast Kerr nonlinearity. We demonstrate power dependent switching in this novel optofluidic device. The large thermo-optical effect of liquids enables us to tune the behavior of the nonlinear coupler by changing the coupling stren...
متن کاملDielectrophoretically tunable optofluidic devices
Tunable optofluidic devices exhibit some unique characteristics that are not achievable in conventional solid-state photonic devices. They provide exciting opportunities for emerging applications in imaging, information processing, sensing, optical communication, lab-on-a-chip and biomedical engineering. A dielectrophoresis effect is an important physical mechanism to realize tunable optofluidi...
متن کاملTunable multimode interference coupler
Introduction: Multimode interference (MMI) couplers have been widely used in integrated photonic devices because of their compact size, wide optical bandwidth, polarisation independence and relaxed fabrication tolerances [1]. In most applications they operate as passive components, and only recently has their use as active components for the development of photonic switches been investigated [2...
متن کاملHydrodynamically tunable optofluidic cylindrical microlens.
In this work, we report the design, fabrication, and characterization of a tunable optofluidic microlens that focuses light within a microfluidic device. The microlens is generated by the interface of two co-injected miscible fluids of different refractive indices, a 5 M CaCl(2) solution (n(D) = 1.445) and deionized (DI) water (n(D) = 1.335). When the liquids flow through a 90-degree curve in a...
متن کاملElectrokinetically tunable optofluidic bi-concave lens
This paper numerically and experimentally investigates and demonstrates the design of an optofluidic in -plane bi-concave lens to perform both light focusing and diverging using the combined effect of pressure driven flow and electroosmosis. The concave lens is formed in a rectangular chamber with liquid core liquid cladding (L) configuration. Under constant flowrates, the performance of the le...
