title = "Optofluidic lenses by harnessing lightwave via transformation optics",
abstract = "This paper designs two optofluidic lenses using the design methodology of transformation optics. Liquid diffusion-generated gradient is utilized to manipulate the light flow in the visible spectrum. The diffusion-generated index profile is continuous and hence avoids the discontinuity-induced performance degradation. Two microfluidic optical devices (1) a Maxwell's fisheye lens and (2) a 90° rotating lens were demonstrated on a single microfluidic chip. This work shows that complicated optical functions can be easily realized in microfluidics via transformation optics and is anticipated to have potential applications in optical detection, manipulation and phototaxis study.",
