摘要：Microfluidics represent the science and technology that process or manipulate small amount of fluids (10-9 to 10-18 litres) with dimensions of tens to hundreds of micrometers in microfluidic chip. Optofluidics or micro-opto-fluidic-systems (MOFS) aim at manipulating light and fluid at microscale and exploiting their interaction to create highly versatile devices that is significant scientific and interests in many areas. The novelties of the integrated Optofluidic are twofold. First, fluids can be used to carry substances to be analyzed in highly sensitive optical microdevices. Second, fluids can also be exploited to control optical microdevices, making them tunable, reconfigurable and adaptive. It is a new breakthrough research area that can provide new solutions and opportunities for a wide range of traditional photonic devices allowing tuning and reconfiguration at the micrometer scale using microfluidic manipulation. This new innovation allows scientists and researchers to tackle many classical problems with new tools and new research ideas. Among many novel innovations have been demonstrated such as liquid-liquid waveguide, liquid lens, liquid bubbles grating and microfluidic waveguide laser etc. In this talk, the state-of-arts of optofluidic research will be reviewed with the high potential applications of Optofluidics in biophysical, biochemistry and biomedical study are also discussed following some showcase etc.
