Abstract :
In this work the authors fabricate, by femtosecond laser irradiation, high-quality microfluidic channels and optical waveguides on the same glass substrate in order to demonstrate the possibility of an in-situ optical sensing with a very good spatial selectivity and extremely high signal-to-noise ratio.
