Abstract :
Integrated optical waveguides offer great potential as versatile platforms for constructing advanced biosensors, optical cell-sorters and integrated optofluidic systems, exploiting the technological approaches of microelectronics and guided-wave optics to realise low-cost on-chip systems. Progress towards optical integration in microsystems for bioanalysis will be discussed, with examples in key applications, and challenges and opportunities will be described.
