End view of photonic bandgap fiber. Typical diameter of the central core is ~10 microns. The honeycomb structure serves as a diffractive element that confines light in a certain range of wavelengths. We are using photonic bandgap fibers in conjuction with microfluidic chemical synthesis to enable novel optical devices.


A murine T-cell undergoing laser-induced lysis. Top: before lysis. Middle: a focused laser beam induces cavitation in the cell media. Bottom: cytosolic contents are released. See more about cell analysis here.
