Lab-on-a-Chip Devices for Chemical Analysis, Fig. 7 Process flow for the fabrication of integrated waveguides (a) silicon substrate with a three-layered waveguiding structure (b) mask for forming the (c)... 

Fig. 16.9 Micrographs illustrating microlluidic targeting over structured substrate, (a) Optical micrograph of optical nanostructure, (b) Without parylene patterning, fluidic channels leak along waveguides within 5 min. (c) With parylene patterning, channels maintain integrity for full hour...

A planar optical waveguide was integrated within a PDMS chip for fluorescent detection. The waveguide consists of a 150-nm-thick silicon nitride layer deposited on a 2.1-pm-thick Si02 buffer layer on a Si substrate. The rabbit IgG was... 

Fig. 1. Examples of the two common integrated optics waveguides used SHG in organic materials (a) slab waveguide, (b) channel waveguide. The dimensions along the confinement directions are typically a few optical wavelengths. The core optical index made from the polymer film is higher that the substrate ns. and cladding nc indices...
