Micro-optic technology for the microfluidics feedback

The possibility of miniaturization of existing optical setups and technologies for the monitoring and control in microfluidics could represent a step toward the realization of a complete polymeric micro-optic-fluidic system. In this context the presented work involves the design and the optic simulation of PDMS micro-optic interfaces to reproduce the microfluidic feedback: a bubble flow to control a bubble flow.
