Fig. 2 is the used experimental provision synoptic diagram of waveguiding effect of demonstration microfluid optical waveguide.
Embodiment
See also Fig. 1 earlier, Fig. 1 is the preparation process synoptic diagram of microfluid optical waveguide of the present invention.
Utilize the present invention can prepare straight or crooked optical waveguide, but because when the leaded light performance of demonstration waveguide, can the coincidence phenomenon of coupled laser and output beam take place in the straight optical waveguide and cause the output mode resolution unclear, crooked waveguide then can be avoided this situation.Therefore will be example to prepare the one 90 crooked arc optical waveguide of degree, provide the scheme and the result that utilize femtosecond laser on substrate of glass, to prepare microfluid optical waveguide fast, specifically comprise following three steps:
(1) femtosecond etching: what we used in the preparation process is the titanium-doped sapphire fs-laser system that Spectra PhysicsSpitfire company produces, and pulsewidth is 40 ± 2fs, and centre wavelength is 800nm, and repetition frequency is 1kHz.Processing employed femtosecond laser single pulse energy is 7.1 μ J, and is that 0.46 microcobjective focuses on light beam with numerical aperture.With common microscope slide cut lengths is fritter and six mirror polish of 13mm * 5mm * 1mm, get a glass sample and be fixed on, simultaneously ccd video camera is connected on the computing machine so that the real-time monitored process by on computer-controlled D translation/universal stage.Translation stage translational speed by computer settings is 160 μ m/s, in order to make the inner wall smooth of microchannel, has adopted and has repeatedly scanned method for processing, comes flyback retrace along dotted line in the device synoptic diagram, is not less than 20 times.
(2) ultrasonic cleaning: after the completion of processing, take off sample and place the ultrasonic washing instrument that fills anhydrous alcohol to clean 15-20 minute.Be the optical waveguide of 90 ° of bendings making, the width at cross-sectional type top is about 7 μ m, and the degree of depth is 16 μ m.Can wait the cross-sectional type of controlling the microchannel by the pulse energy of control femtosecond laser, the numerical aperture and the scanning times of focusing objective len.
(3) inject the liquid core:, can use the reagent-paraffin oil (n=1.474) and α-a naphthalene bromide (n=1.658) of two kinds of different refractivities in order to form liquid core waveguide structure.Because the refractive index of the glass-chip that uses is 1.516, must mix above-mentioned two kinds of reagent by different volume ratios to make the range of adjustment of refractive index be 1.52~1.658 for this reason.Use the Eppendorf liquid-transfering gun of 10 μ L that deployed reagent is injected the microchannel,, also need use ear washing bulb to blow away residual reagent around the microchannel for fear of too much scattering loss.
After having prepared above-mentioned microfluid optical waveguide, demonstrate its waveguiding effect according to building device as shown in Figure 2: the He-Ne laser beam 1 after will collimating (wavelength is 632.8nm) adopts 20 * microcobjective 2 (numerical aperture is 0.46) be coupled to an end of waveguide 3, cooperate 5 pairs of ripple near fields of ccd video cameras mode imaging at this waveguide output terminal with object lens 4.We observe, and when the sandwich layer refractive index of fluid waveguide is 1.658, can obtain multimode output; Changing liquid core refractive index is 1.527 o'clock, can obtain single mode output.The light intensity space distribution of single mode field pattern also is approximately Gaussian distribution, and these are consistent with the conclusion of waveguide theory.
