The integration of optical circuits with microfluidic lab-on-chip (LoC) devices has resulted in a new era of potential in terms of both sample manipulation and detection at the micro-scale. On-chip optical components increase both control and analytical capabilities while reducing reliance on expensive laboratory photonic equipment that has limited microfluidic development. Notably, in-situ LoC devices for bio-chemical applications such as diagnostics and environmental monitoring could provide great value as low-cost, portable and highly sensitive systems. Multiple challenges remain however due to the complexity involved with combining photonics with micro-fabricated systems. Here, we aim to highlight the progress that optical on-chip systems have made in recent years regarding the main LoC applications: (1) sample manipulation and (2) detection. At the same time, we aim to address the constraints that limit industrial scaling of this technology. Through evaluating various fabrication methods, material choices and novel approaches of optic and fluidic integration, we aim to illustrate how optic-enabled LoC approaches are providing new possibilities for both sample analysis and manipulation.

In this paper, a racetrack ring resonator design based on a subwavelength grating double slot waveguide is presented. The proposed waveguide scheme is capable of confining the transverse electric field in the slots and the gaps between the grating segments. This configuration facilitates a large light–matter interaction which elevates the sensitivity of the device approximately 2.5 times higher than the one that can be obtained via a standard slot waveguide resonator. The best sensitivity of the design is obtained at 1000 nm/RIU by utilizing a subwavelength grating double slot waveguide of period 300 nm. The numerical study is conducted via 2D and 3D finite element methods. We believe that the proposed sensor design can play an important role in the realization of highly sensitive lab-on-chip sensors.

In this study, a microfluidic chip with integrated coil was designed and fabricated for the aim of effectively trapping magnetic nanobeads (Adembeads®, 300 nm) and measuring the chip’s temperature during the working time. In addition, a reversible technique of bonding Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels was presented. This bonding process used a coating layer of CYTOP®product as a protection, insulation and low-adhesion layer. The reversible packaging technique allows the bottom substrate to be reused, possibly equipped with sensors, and to use a disposable microchannels network. The FE method was employed to calculate the magnetic field and power consumption by the ANSYS® version 12.1 software. Merit factors were defined in order to synthetically represent the ability of the simulated coil to trap beads for a unit power consumption, i.e. a given heat generation. The simulation results propose a new approach to optimize the design criteria in fabricating planar microcoils. The optimal microcoils were fabricated and then used to realize a magnetic immunoassay in a microfluidic chip. The aim was to integrate these microcoils into a lab-on-chip and obtain a fast and highly sensitive biological element detection.
