Study of Tunable Optofluidic Device for Particle Sorting and Storing
Based on the evanescent waves of microring resonance next to the waveguide and the bus waveguide, an optofluidic device composed of the chalcogenide semiconductor Sb2Se3 was proposed. The function of device could be actively modulated by the phase change of Sb2Se3, so that the device could realize two different functions under the condition of single wavelength input. Spherical and rod-shaped polystyrene particles were used as model systems, in which spherical (0.5 μm in diameter) and rod-shaped (0.5 μm in diameter and 1.5 μm in length) polystyrene particles could simulate Staphylococcus aureus and rod-shaped Escherichia coli, respectively. These two different bacteria were used to implement the shape-sorting function of the device. By heating Sb2Se3 to the crystallization temperature(TC = 200 ℃), the materials of the waveguide and the resonant ring were phase-transformed, and the device could be tuned to switch between the two functions of storing particles and sorting particles. The protocol may provide a reference for shape-selective screening of biomolecules and meet the requirements of a new generation of lab-on-a-chip technology.
