Abstract :
Optofluidic devices are most commonly fabricated using microfluidic technology into which photonic capability is embedded. Lasers, microscopes, sensors, optical fibers, and lenses can be fabricated with this approach [1]. The application areas of optofluidics include tunable optical devices, biophotonics [2], and more recently solar energy harvesting [3].
