Scaling properties of a low-actuation pressure microfluidic valve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Using basic physical arguments, we present a design and method for the fabrication of microfluidic valves using multilayer soft lithography. These on-off valves have extremely low actuation pressures and can be used to fabricate active functions, such as

All optically tunable wavelength-selective reflector consisting of coupled polymeric microring resonators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present an all optically tunable wavelength-selective reflector for planar lightwave technology based on coupled microring resonators. By employing the Vernier effect, we demonstrate narrow-band reflection and strong side-lobe suppression in an ...

Ultrasensitive Photonic Microsystem Enabling Sub-micrometric Monitoring of Arterial Oscillations for Advanced Cardiovascular Studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2019
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death globally. Their early diagnosis requires ultrasensitive tools enabling the detection of minor structural and functional alterations in small arteries.

UV-curable glassy material for the manufacture of bulk and nano-structured elements [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2012
An ultra violet (UV)-cured glassy material with less than 30 wt% organic residues was fabricated by the fast sol-gel method. The material presents high thermal stability, good optical quality and high adhesive strength. It is suitable for optical bonding

Microfabricated rubber microscope using soft solid immersion lenses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We show here a technique of soft lithography to microfabricate efficient solid immersion lenses (SIL) out of rubber elastomers. The light collection efficiency of a lens system is described by its numerical aperture (NA), and is critical for applications

Plasmonic nanostructures fabricated using nanosphere-lithography, soft-lithography and plasma etching

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2011
We present two routes for the fabrication of plasmonic structures based on nanosphere lithography templates. One route makes use of soft-lithography to obtain arrays of epoxy resin hemispheres, which, in a second step, can be coated by metal films.

Fabrication of single-mode channel polymer waveguides using vacuum assisted microfluidic soft lithography [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2013
We report on the fabrication of single-mode channel waveguide structures produced by the vacuum assisted microfluidic soft lithography technique. The soft lithographic technique in conjunction with a specially designed photomask pattern and a synthesized

Soft lithography replication of polymeric microring optical resonators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We have developed a soft lithography method to replicate polymeric integrated optical devices. In this method, the master device and the molded replica are made of the same materials, allowing direct comparison. To evaluate the quality of the replication,
