Abstract

This paper represents a differential method for simultaneously measuring the refractive index (RI) and the size of single living cells using the fiber-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer and optical trapping; both are integrated onto an optofluidic chip. In experiment, a living cancerous cell MDCK is trapped by 45-mW laser light and then the cell's refractive index and diameter are simultaneously determined by the spectral shift in response to the buffer modulation and cell presence/absence. The measured cell has a size of 15.1 μm and a RI of 1.397 at an accuracy of 0.1%.
