Abstract

The manipulation and analysis of particles in fluid has always been a matter of concern. In the liquid microfluidic system, the quality of single cell flow directly affects the final analysis results. Due to its special structure, optical fiber has the advantages of simple structure and good compatibility and has become a cross-integration link in various research fields. In this letter, an integrated optical fiber structure for particle manipulation in fluid is proposed. The annular-core capillary fiber developed by the laboratory is adopted, which has the structure of cladding - annular core - air hole. The cone angle of 12° is polished at the exit end of the optical fiber. The laser transmitted by the annular core is reflected by the cone and forms a funnel-shaped cone shell light field at the end of the optical fiber, which is called ‘optical funnel’. When the particles are injected from the air hole and pass through the conical shell light field, the continuous directional control is formed due to the action of the light field force. The device has the characteristics of simple structure and high integration, which provides a solution for the miniaturization of instruments and equipment and is of great significance in engineering applications.

光纤端锥形外壳光场的光漏斗效应

流体中粒子的处理和分析一直是人们关注的问题。在液体微流控系统中，单细胞流动的质量直接影响最终的分析结果。光纤由于其特殊的结构，具有结构简单、兼容性好等优点，已成为各个研究领域交叉集成的环节。本文提出了一种用于流体中粒子操纵的集成光纤结构。采用实验室研制的环芯毛细管光纤，其结构为包层-环芯-空穴。在光纤的出口端抛光12°的锥角。通过环形芯传输的激光被锥反射，在光纤的末端形成一个漏斗状的锥壳光场，称为“光漏斗”。当粒子从气孔注入并穿过锥形壳光场时，由于光场力的作用，形成连续的定向控制。该装置具有结构简单、集成度高的特点，为仪器设备的小型化提供了解决方案，在工程应用中具有重要意义。
