Welcome from the Chairs
Optofluidics 2017 continues a series of Conferences that provide a forum to promote scientific exchange and foster closer networks and collaborative ties between leading international optics and micro/nanofluidics researchers across cutting-edge research fields. Topics range from fundamental research to its applications in chemistry, physics, biology, materials and medicine. All the interdisciplinary topics and related aspects of Optofluidics are of interest in the conference such as micro/nanofluidics, optical devices and systems, plasmonics and metamaterial, biochemical sensors, imaging and display, fabrication and integration, energy and environment.
We anticipate that about 500–800 worldwide scientists and professionals will attend Optofluidics 2017. The conference offers plenary talks as well as contributed oral presentations and posters selected from submitted abstracts. Attendees have the opportunity to hear and present ground-breaking research, share ideas and network with colleagues and luminaries.

sciforum-012230 | System prototype for 2D large scaled EWOD chip | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A system-level prototype for EWOD driving was proposed and built, to aim the goal of droplet manipulation in 2D large scaled EWOD chip for biological detection. When a 2D large scale EWOD chip is applied into application, there is still challenge in control of independent electrode for flexible applications. Droplet residues on electrode or any defects in the dielectrics would cause failures of droplet manipulation or detection accuracy. Therefore, effective control of electrodes, and discovery of the sites of the bugs and real-time routing for dodging of them are important for biological detections. We proposed a direct address and passive controlling method with N+M pins for M+N electrodes, and an electrical impedance-based sensing method for the bug finding. Lee algorithm was applied to automatically route droplet with real-time feedback of the bugs in the 2D EWOD chip with 10´10 electrode matrix. Hardware and software were developed applicable for 2D large scale EWOD chips. Fig. 1 shows the schematic and picture of the system and the signal flow among the circuit components. Fig. 2 demonstrates the manipulation of multiple droplets simultaneously without conflict. Fig.3 gives the detection of the sites and sizes of the droplet residue larger than 40% of that of the electrode. Fig.4 expresses the real-time routing to dodging the bugs successfully. |

sciforum-011087 | A NOVEL SHEAR-HORIZONTAL SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE BIOSENSOR | , , , , , , , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This paper reports a novel biosensor based on shear horizontal surface acoustic wave(SH-SAW) applied in biological detection. we designed a surface acoustic wave resonator as biosensor and integrated it with a waterproof fixture, in which there is a micro-fluidic channel insuring the smooth of liquid flowing, and guarantee the stability during the biological reaction. In this paper, we have studied the feature of the device in liquid-phase, the experimental result indicates that a larger value of phase shift (3 degree) is realized compared with pioneer works[1]. |

sciforum-011941 | Presentation Title: Ultra-precision machining and measurement of optical microstructures | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This talk will give a systematic study for the ultra-precision machining technology for generating various optical microstructures, such as micro V-groove for optical fiber connectors, microlens array for microfluidic microcavity, etc. which includes the machining mechanism, tool path generation, modeling and simulation of surface generation, machining error prediction, process optimization, etc. A series of methods and approaches are also presented to measure and characterize such optical microstructures. The research work aims to provide an enabling solution for producing optical microstructures in high precision and efficiently. |

sciforum-010721 | A Liquid-driven MEMS Vibrational Energy Harvester | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Setting a target on implantable medical devices such as respiration-supporting pacemaker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we develop an energy harvester that could earn electrical power from the mechanical motion of liquid droplets on an electrical charged plate called “electret.” A PDMS sheet with micro fluidic channels is laminated onto a silicon substrate with built-in permanent electrical charges. A pair of capacitive electrodes is formed in the sealed fluidic channels, in which water droplets are displaced back and forth due to the applied pressure that simulates the motion of heartbeat. Typical output power of 0.17 µW/cm2 is obtained at 0.47 Hz. Analytical model suggests that the extension of the electret plate to ~ 6 cm2 delivers 1 mW power, which is sufficient to drive the implantable medical devices. |

sciforum-011315 | Flexible MEMS Microelectrodes for Neural Interface | , , , , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
With the rapid development of MEMS (Micro-electro-mechanical Systems) fabrication technologies, manifolds microelectrodes with various structures and functions have been designed and fabricated for applications in biomedical research, diagnosis and treatment through electrical stimulation and electrophysiological signal recording. The flexible MEMS microelectrodes exhibit multi-aspect excellent characteristics, such as: lighter weight, smaller volume, better conforming to neural tissue and lower fabrication cost. In this talk, we mainly reviewed key technologies on flexible MEMS microelectrodes for neural interface in recent years, including: design and fabrication technology, flexible MEMS microelectrodes with fluidic channels and electrode-tissue interface modification technology for performance improvement. Furthermore, the future directions of flexible MEMS microelectrodes are discussed. |
