Abstract

This paper reports the real time particle sorting technique using the twin Mach- Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on the liquid waveguide that is integrated onto a single microfluidic chip. The particle is injected into either arms of the coupler between the two MZIs and the different position of the particle can induce the different phase change of the coupler that induces the difference in the interferometer pattern and the output intensity. It can detect the particle of 3 - 4 μm diameter in real-time which chip is promising for particle, cell and molecular sorting applications.
