Abstract

Lab-on-a-chip, or microfluidics large-scale integration (mLSI), enables the fabrication of chips containing hundreds or more of these functions using well-established lithography techniques, similar in principle to electronic LSI in the semiconductor industry. Logic manipulation is critical for large scale integration of optofluidics system. Based on two different ways for the light excitation namely waveguide mode coupling method and perpendicular focused beam method, here we demonstrate this kind of manipulation achieved by silicon photonic and plasmonic nanostructures in nanofluidics. The logic manipulation of optofluidic system will make the chip dynamically configurable and scalable. It will be a critical function unit for systems with a high degree of automation.
