Photonic Lab-on-a-Chip: Integration of Optical Spectroscopy in Microfluidic Systems.

The integration of micro-optical elements with microfluidics leads to the highly promising photonic lab-on-a-chip analytical systems (PhLoCs). In this work, we re-examine the main principles which are underneath the on-chip spectrophotometric detection, approaching the PhLoC concept to a nonexpert audience.
