Kirbylab to microfluidically address photonic bandgap fibers
The Micro/Nanofluidics laboratory has recently initiated a project to use microfluidic control to address the internal geography of photonic bandgap fibers, with application to optical switching and trapping. With support from the Cornell Center for Nanoscale Systems, Kirbylab will implement novel materials deposition techniques to develop a generalized platform for fiber-level optical control.
