In this talk I will describe our research into the use of microfluidics for enabling reconfigurability of photonic systems and matter itself. In the first of these systems it is well known that optical devices which incorporate liquids as a fundamental part of the structure can be traced at least as far back as the 18th century where rotating pools of mercury were proposed as a simple technique to create smooth mirrors for use in reflecting telescopes. The development of modern microfluidic and nanofluidic devices has enabled a present day equivalent of such devices centered on the marriage of fluidics and optics which we refer to as “Optofluidics.” I will demonstrate here the fundamental advantages of using microfluidics to create adaptable photonic materials and provide a few specific examples related to fluid based optical switches. In the second aspect I will introduce how we use microfluidics to create dynamically programmable self-assembling materials, or programmable matter. The uniqueness of the approach I will demonstrate is that it uses dynamically-switchable affinities between assembling components facilitating the assembly of irregular structures.

Optical devices which incorporate liquids as a fundamental part of the structure can be traced at least as far back as the 18th century where rotating pools of mercury were proposed as a simple technique to create smooth mirrors for use in reflecting telescopes. Modern microfluidic and nanofluidics has enabled the development of a present day equivalent of such devices centered on the marriage of fluidics and optics which we refer to as “Optofluidics.” In this review paper we will present an overview of our approach to the development of three different optofluidic devices. In the first of these we will demonstrate how the fusion of novel nanophotonic structures with micro- and nanofluidic networks can be used to perform ultrasensitive, label free biomolecular analysis. This will be done in the context of our newly developed devices for screening of Dengue and Influenza virus RNA. For the second class of device I will discuss and demonstrate how optical forces (scattering, adsorption and polarization) in solid and liquid core nanophotonic structures can be used to drive novel microfluidic processes. Some of the advanced analytical, numerical and experimental techniques used to investigate and design these systems will be discussed as well as issues relating to integration and their fabrication.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

Objective: To assess the success of BMG urethroplasty in long segment anterior urethral stricture. Method: From January 2014 to December 2015, twenty male patients with long anterior segment urethral stricture were managed by BMG urethroplasty. After voiding trial they were followed up at 3 month with Uroflowmetry, RGU & MCU and PVR measurement by USG. Patients were further followed up with Uroflowmetry and PVR at 6 months interval.Successful outcome was defined as normal voiding with a maximum flow rate >15ml /sec and PVR<50 ml with consideration of maximum one attempt of OIU after catheter removal. Results: Mean stricture length was 5.2 cm (range 3-9 cm) and mean follow-up was 15.55 months (range 6-23 months). Only two patients developed stricture at proximal anastomotic site during follow-up. One of them voided normally after single attempt of OIU. Other one required second attempt of OIU and was considered as failure (5%). Conclusion: BMG urethroplasty is a simple technique with good surgical outcome. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 19, No. 2, July 2016 p.64-68
