چکیده
Bio-switchable optofluidic lasers based on DNA Holliday junctions were demonstrated. Nearly 100% wavelength switching was achieved through reversible conformational change of the Holliday junction controlled by magnesium ionic strength.

Bioinspired optofluidic FRET lasers via DNA scaffolds.
Optofluidic dye lasers hold great promise for adaptive photonic devices, compact and wavelength-tunable light sources, and micro total analysis systems. To date, however, nearly all those lasers are directly excited by tuning the pump laser into the gain medium absorption band. Here we demonstrate bioinspired optofluidic dye lasers excited by FRET, in which the donor-acceptor distance, ratio, a...
متن کاملDevelopment of Elastomeric Optofluidic Devices for Lasing and Sensing
The term of optofluidics defines an emergent research field that combines microfluidics and optics. In many lab-on-a-chip applications, these two technologies are used in combining the microfluidics for sample delivery and optics for sensing and controlling. Optofluidic represents the implementation of optics in microfluidic platform that produces an unprecedented level of integration. Moreover...
متن کاملOptofluidic FRET lasers using aqueous quantum dots as donors.
An optofluidic FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) laser is formed by putting FRET pairs inside a microcavity acting as a gain medium. This integration of an optofluidic laser and the FRET mechanism provides novel research frontiers, including sensitive biochemical analysis and novel photonic devices, such as on-chip coherent light sources and bio-tunable lasers. Here, we investigated...
متن کاملT7 endonuclease I resolves Holliday junctions formed in vitro by RecA protein.
T7 endonuclease I is known to bind and cleave four-way junctions in DNA. Since these junctions serve as analogues of Holliday junctions that arise during genetic recombination, we have investigated the action of T7 endonuclease I on recombination intermediates containing Holliday junctions. We find that addition of T7 endonuclease I to strand exchange reactions catalysed by RecA protein of Esch...
متن کاملHybrid integration of III-V semiconductor lasers on silicon waveguides using optofluidic microbubble manipulation
Optofluidic manipulation mechanisms have been successfully applied to micro/nano-scale assembly and handling applications in biophysics, electronics, and photonics. Here, we extend the laser-based optofluidic microbubble manipulation technique to achieve hybrid integration of compound semiconductor microdisk lasers on the silicon photonic circuit platform. The microscale compound semiconductor ...
