Abstract :
This paper presents influence of fluidic inlet and outlet spacing on light transmission inside channel. To consider this issue three various LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) based fluidic microsystems for light transmittance/absorbance measurements were designed and manufactured. The main distinction between these micro-devices was a way of fluidic inlet and outlet connection to the optical channel. Significant differences of output signal for each structure were noticed. To explain this phenomenon a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations were done.
