ABSTRACTThis paper presents dramatic improvements in the micro-fabrication of three-dimensional microfluidic channels and high-aspect ratio tunnels within the bulk of a fused silica substrate. We also report the fabrication of optical waveguides within the same substrate, which is a major step towards the integration of sensing capabilities within microfluidic networks.This integrated device, which combines both fluidic channels and optical waveguides, opens new opportunities in bio- and chemical sensing. The flexibility of the improved manufacturing process offers substantial new design capabilities, especially for single channel probing and massively parallel processing and sensing.

Fs-laser micromachining is a high precision fabrication technique that can be used to write novel three-dimensional structures, depending on the nature of light-matter interaction. In fused silica, the material modification can lead to (i) an increase of the refractive index around the focal volume, resulting in the formation of optical circuits, or (ii) an enhancement of the etch rate of the laser-affected zones relative to the pristine material, leading to a selective and anisotropic etching reaction that enables fabrication of microfluidic systems. Here, both effects are combined to fabricate a Fabry-Pérot interferometer, where optical waveguides and microfluidic channels are integrated monolithically in a fused silica chip. By filling the channel with a magnetic fluid whose refractive index changes with an external magnetic field, the device can be used as a magnetic field sensor. A linear sensitivity of -0.12 nm/mT is obtained in the 5.0±0.5 to 33.0±0.5 mT range, with the field being applied parallel to the light propagation direction.
