Toward all optical lab-on-a-chip system: optical manipulation of both microfluid and microscopic particles

To achieve all-optical-lab-on-a-chip systems, it requires optical manipulation tools for both microparticles and microfluids. Optical tweezers have attracted a great deal of interests in manipulating cells or particles. However, it is not effective in handling microfluid. Its high optical power requirement also limits its application in high throughput bio-analysis system. In this paper, we demonstrate two novel mechanisms, optoelectrowetting (OEW) for handling microdroplets, and optoelectronic tweezers (OET) for optical manipulation of microscopic particles with low optical power actuation. Instead of using direct optical force, both mechanisms rely on light induced electrical force for optical manipulation. Optoelectrowetting (OEW) enables control of microfluids in droplet form by optical beams. It is based on light induced electrowetting, which changes surface tension at solid-liquid interface at illuminated area. It is realized by integrating a layer of photoconductive material with electrowetting electrodes. By programming the illumination pattern, we have successfully demonstrated various functions for droplet, such as moving, splitting, and merging. A 100 pico-liter droplet was transported at a speed of 785um/sec by an optical beam with an optical power of 100mW. Optoelectronic tweezers (OET) manipulate cells or particles based on light induced dielectrophoresis (DEP). Trapping or repelling of microscopic particles is achieved with a light intensity of 2W/cm^2, which is 5 orders of magnitudes lower than that required by optical tweezers (10^5~ 10^7 W/cm^2). The liquid containing cells or particles is sandwiched between a photosensitive surface and a transparent ITO glass, with an ac bias between them.. When the laser beam is focused on the photosensitive layer, it creates a virtual electrode on the illuminated area, resulting a non-uniform electric field at the aqueous layer. Cells or particles in the liquid layer are polarized by this non-uniform electric field and driven by the DEP force. The force could be attractive or repulsive, depending on the dielectric properties of the particles and the bias frequency. Using OET, we have demonstrated concentration of polystyrene particles and live E.coli cells using an optical power less than 10uW.

Low-threshold InGaAs/GaAs strained-layer quantum-well lasers (lambda=0.98 micron) with GaInP cladding layers grown by chemical beam epitaxy

Strained InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum well (QW) lasers operating at 0.98 micrometers are currently of great interest due to their suitability for pumping erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. They are reported to yield a lower noise figure and higher gain coefficient than the 1.48 micrometers InGaAs/InP pump lasers as well as 0.8 micrometers AlGaAs/GaAs pump lasers. In addition, the InGaAs/AlGaAs strained QW lasers have lower threshold current, higher slope efficiency, and less temperature dependance. All these factors contribute to lowering the power dissipation of the pump design. Recently Ga_0.51In_0.49P, lattice-matched to GaAs has been introduced as a substitute for the AlGaAs cladding layers due to reports suggesting its resistance to rapid degradation by dark line defect propagation and to catastrophic mirror damage. The aluminum-free system also lends itself more readily to device fabrication by selective etching and epitaxial regrowth or mass transport. We report on the first InGaAs/GaAs strained-layer QW lasers using GaInP cladding layers grown by chemical beam epitaxy. The laser structure is a separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) with the active region consisting of 70 angstroms thick In_0.2Ga_0.8As quantum well and 220 angstroms thick GaAs barriers. The active and the SCH region are cladded by Ga_0.51In_0.49P layers of 1.35 micrometers thickness. A very low broad-area threshold current density of 70 A/cm² was obtained for 1500 micrometers long single QW lasers which is among the lowest reported for InGaAs/GaAs/GaInP lasers. The J_th for two and three QW lasers were 135 A/cm² and 170 A/cm² respectively. Ridge waveguide lasers with 4 micrometers width have very low cw threshold currents: 7.8 mA for 500 micrometers -long cavity and 10 mA for 750 micrometers -long cavity. External differential quantum efficiency as high as 0.9 mW/mA was obtained for 250 micrometers -long lasers. From the slope of inverse quantum efficiency versus cavity length, a very low internal waveguide loss of 2.5 cm^-1 and an internal quantum efficiency of 0.95 are inferred.
