The incorporation of a micro spherical reflecting mirror (MSRM) onto a cantilever beam sensor magnifies the optical deflection angle and therefore enhances the sensitivity of an optical sensing system. The curvature of the spherical reflecting mirror determines the angle magnification. Given a certain bending amount and a fixed distance between the cantilever and position sensing detector, the cantilever integrated with a micro spherical mirror with a smaller radius of curvature produces a larger optical deflection. Currently at an intermediate stage, our optical sensing system includes a traditional cantilever and a separate spherical mirror with a radius of curvature of 10 cm, which experimentally simulates a system with a MSRM-integrated cantilever beam. The experimental results show that the sensitivity is enhanced by 70%.

Pressure-actuated liquid-filled micro-lenses may be tuned in focal length from several millimeters to infinity and are thus suitable for use in tunable lens systems. A novel fabrication method for pneumatic multi-chamber lens systems which correct imaging errors such as chromatic and spherical aberrations is presented. The approach is a highly flexible, accurate and inexpensive way to implement lens combinations on the micro-scale which are similar to those in conventional macroscopic systems. A three-chamber lens system will demonstrate the potential of the process.

SABIO is a multidisciplinary project involving the emerging fields of micro-nano technology, photonics, fluidics and bio-chemistry, targeting a contribution to the development of intelligent diagnostic equipment through the demonstration of a compact polymer based and silicon-based CMOS-compatible micro-nano system. It integrates optical biosensors for label-free biomolecular recognition based on a novel photonic structure named slot-waveguide with immobilised biomolecular receptors on its surface. The slot-waveguides provide high optical intensity in a subwavelength-size low refractive index region (slot-region) sandwiched between two high refractive index strips (rails) [Almeida, V., et al., 2004] leading to an enhanced interaction between the optical probe and biomolecular complexes (antibody-antigen). As such a biosensor is predicted to exhibit a surface concentration detection-limit lower than 1 pg/mm2, state-of-the-art in label-free integrated optical biosensors, as well as the possibility of multiplexed assay, which, together with reduced reaction volumes, leads to the ability to perform rapid multi-analyte sensing and comprehensive tests. This offers the further advantageous possibility of assaying several parameters simultaneously and consequently, statistical analysis of these results can potentially increase the reliability and reduce the measurement uncertainty of a diagnostic over single-parameter assays. In addition, the SABIO micro-nano system device applied to its novel protein-based diagnostic technology has the potential to be fast and easy to use, making routine screening or monitoring of diseases more cost-effective.

We demonstrate a dual-axes confocal endoscope in a 5.5 mm diameter package for clinical use. Miniaturization is achieved by using a barbell-shaped, gimbaled, two-dimensional MEMS scanner that is actuated by self-aligned, vertical-comb actuators. The maximum DC optical scan angles are plusmn2.6deg on the inner axis and plusmn0.8deg on the outer axis, and the corresponding resonance frequencies are 3.1 kHz and 1.1 KHz. The maximum imaging rate is 10 frames/second, and the microscope achieves full-width-half-maximum transverse and axial resolutions of 5 mum and 7 mum, respectively when operated in the near infrared wavelength (785 nm).

A 50% reduction of operation voltage improvement was achieved on a non self-emissive color filter pixels based on MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) Fabry-Perot interference device by minimizing its Newton's rings' size. Newly designed air grooves in spacer layer were proved to be efficient to evacuate air trapped inside pixels which in turn effectively lowered its operation voltage. A seesaw effect was also found if air groove occupied too large area which degrades the operation voltage lowering benefit.
