Optofluidic microchannels in aerogel [PDF]
Optics Letters, 2011 We report optofluidic waveguides made by filling microchannels in aerogel with water. The aerogel cladding is a nanoporous material with an extremely low refractive index of ~1.05, giving a large index step from the water core. Channels were formed by removing embedded optical fibers, which could be nonuniform or multiple.

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 9, 29 January 2026.This work reveals a fundamental trade‐off between plasmonic and dielectric metasurfaces for molecular sensing. A clear performance crossover is identified: dielectric metasurfaces excel in air, while plasmonic metasurfaces dominate in lossy solvents. These results establish design rules for infrared metasurface sensors and enable optimized performance ...

Optofluidic on-chip tomography [PDF]
2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011 The first demonstration of optofluidic tomography is presented. Using partially coherent illumination, holograms of objects are recorded at multiple viewing angles, as they flow through a microfluidic channel placed directly on the top of an opto-electronic sensor array.
