Optofluidics & sensing

Interaction of light and fluids on a chip

Optofluidics represents the interaction of light and fluids on a chip that integrates microfluidics and photonics, providing a promising platform for manipulating and analysing fluid samples. Incorporating diverse photonic nanostructures continuously brings new fields of application, including high-throughput biochemical analysis and nanoparticle manipulation.
Innovative, precise and intelligent sensor networks are a powerful tool to address many societal challenges and contribute to the fulfilment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By identifying applications for such devices, innovative solutions emerge within various fields, from healthcare and environmental monitoring to precise farming and sustainable production and consumption. Combining nanotechnology, functional thin-films and surfaces is a good strategy to improve sensor selectivity and efficiency. By integrating these sensors into sensing platforms in an intelligent network, new levels of real-time monitoring and production efficiency can be achieved.
