Three projects are described in this thesis that combine microfabrication techniques with optical micromanipulation. The aim of these projects is to use expertise in microlithography and optical tweezing to create new tools for Lab-on-Chip devices. The first project looks at the…
“Lab on a Chip” technologies have revolutionized the field of bio-chemical analytics. The crucial role of optical techniques in this revolution resulted in the emergence of a field by itself, which is popularly termed as “optofluidics”. The miniaturization and integration of the…
