Using light to control liquid motion is a new paradigm for the actuation of microfluidic
systems. We review here the different principles and strategies to induce or control liquid …

Fluorescence is the most popular technique in chemical and biological sensing because of
its ultimate sensitivity, high temporal and spatial resolution and versatility that enables …

This review presents a systematic perspective on the development of micro-optofluidic
lenses. The progress on the development of micro-optofluidic lenses are illustrated by …

Propulsive effects of light, which often remain unnoticed in our daily-life experience, manifest
themselves on spatial scales ranging from subatomic to astronomical. Light-mediated forces …

We report a compact fiber in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer for refractive index sensing
with high sensitivity and precise sensing location. One arm of the interferometer contains a …

With soft micro-and nanopatterned materials becoming increasingly useful for various
optical, mechanical, electronic, microfluidic, and optofluidic devices,[1–4] the extension of …

In the past two decades, Micro Fluidic Systems (MFS) have emerged as a powerful tool for
biosensing, particularly in enriching and purifying molecules and cells in biological samples …

Reconfigurable complex emulsions, which consist of multiphase droplets that can change
morphology between encapsulated and Janus shapes, have become of recent fundamental …

Along the advances in optofluidics, functionalities based on the surface plasmon-polariton
