We demonstrate using a double-exposure three-beam and/or three-beam-plus-one interference technique, one can easily and efficiently fabricate 2D and/or 3D quasi-periodic structures. Using the multi-surface prism, our fabrication technique becomes a compact and robust way to produce different kinds of structures, periodic or quasi-periodic.

We report a high speed microfluidic switch capable of achieving a switching time of 70 musec. The switching mechanism is realized by exciting dynamic vapor bubbles with focused laser pulses in a microfluidic PDMS channel. A time-resolved imaging system has been constructed to capture the nanosecond transient channel wall deformation and the particle flow pattern. A switching of polystyrene microspheres in a Y channel has also been demonstrated. This ultrafast laser triggered switching mechanism has the potential to advance the sorting speed of the state-of-the-art microscale fluorescent activated cell sorting devices for two orders of magnitude.

We have developed a simple assembly technology to realize the tilted vertical combs for electrostatic micromirror scanners. The in-plane vertical comb electrodes are easily transformed into out-of-plane tilted comb by asymmetrical pushing down the levers of the spring that is attached to the micro mirror. The fabricated mirror scanner showed the optical scan angle of up to 1.3deg at 60 V and the resonant frequency of 3.15 kHz.

We compare experimentally the performance of a linearly chirped waveguide grating with a uniform grating for coupling light to a vertical fiber. The measurements show the chirped grating reduces reflection and coupling loss by 2 dB.

In this paper we introduce a MEMS scanner with a monolithic silicon 2-D photonic crystal (PC) mirror with broad-band high reflectivity (>90%) in the 1550 nm wavelength band. The photonic crystal is generated as an integrated part of the MEMS scanner fabrication process, resulting in a monolithic structure with a mirror that is ultra-flat with ~lambda/100 flatness over a 500 mum times 500 mum area. The reflectance spectrum shows that the PC mirror has a high reflectivity (>90%) band from 1520 nm-1620 nm. The scanner has a scan range of 22 degrees at an input square wave of 67 V with a resonance frequency of 2.13 kHz.

We propose a new structure for the integrated laser Doppler blood flowmeter which consists of a Si cavity and a photodiode and a laser diode within the cavity. A silicon cover formed with a converging microlens also functions as the package. This structure has a reduced rate of optical power loss in the sensor, resulting in significantly low power consumption.
