Optofluidic
Optofluidics is an interdisciplinary field that combines optics and microfluidics to develop systems capable of manipulating, sensing, and analyzing fluids at microscopic scales. This integration leverages the synergy between optical components and fluidic channels to enable precise control and detection of biological, chemical, or physical processes.
The core principle of optofluidics involves embedding optical elements such as waveguides, lenses, or sensors within
Optofluidic devices are used across various fields including biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and chemical analysis. For
Advances in materials science, nanofabrication, and optical technology continue to extend the capabilities of optofluidic systems.
Overall, optofluidics provides a versatile platform for combining optical sensing with fluid handling at microscopic scales,
