Integrated lenses for microfluidic systems

Abstract

Greater integration of optical devices is required in microfluidic systems for on-chip functionality, with lenses being key components. In this paper several candidate lens types are compared and simulations are presented which show that the paraxial kinoform lens offers optimum performance for efficiency and compactness in weak guiding systems.
